I am the uploader of this photo. I am changing speedy delete to regular delete, as per instructions, but basically I think this photo should stay in the Commons unless I learn otherwise. This was a check mailed to me, not fished off the web. I photographed it. As far as I know, there is no copyright violation involved -- a check image is not an example of something that is subject to copyright rules as far as I can understand it. It is a fraudulent check, not a real one, based on information from Citibank. It was sent by a scammer but it is unlikely that the name on the signature is the scammer -- just some name used by the scammer. The photo is useful for demonstrating about Internet scams used in places like Craigslist.--[[User:Tomwsulcer|Tomwsulcer]] ([[User talk:Tomwsulcer|talk]]) 16:05, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
