Pennies from Heaven

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 • Filed under Fraud

Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret. I’m from Bank of America. I’ve just received this check endorsed to you and I’m going to need to verify your signature. Can you give me a social security number and date of birth, please?

HOBART, Ind. (Court TV) — In God he really trusts.

According to Hobart, Ind., police, a Gary man fell afoul of the law after he tried to cash a $50,000 check from God at a local bank.

No offense to the religious out there, but how stupid could he think the bank tellers are? God only uses money orders.

Police later found several other checks on the man including one for $100,000 signed by “King/Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords/Servant R.E.E.” Apparently, he didn’t dot his I’s with little hearts like God does.

I’ve seen some weird cases in my day, but this one ticos my taco. I mean did he honestly think he could convince people that God would give up some of his money? I’ve never gotten change back from the collection plate.

    “Sir, if ‘God’ gave you this check, why didnt he sign it?”

    That’s funny Will. God doesn’t need a bank account on earth, duh, all his money’s in The First Bank of the Pearly Gates in Heaven. Well, at any rate all his money would be in heaven with him, either that or he would just make whatever he wants just appear and never even need money. But on a serious note, What was that guy smoking to think someone would cash a check made out to God???? STUPID PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!
