They send you a check for more than the service--you send half of it to the "real estate agent" (and you will keep the other half)--they leave town--the check you deposited bounces--your check bounces--

What is the logic behind paying the realtors? Is it "we're too lazy to write a second check to the realtors so go ahead and write it for us!" What are they supposedly receiving payment for?

Who falls for crap like that? Maybe "in compliance to ASHI standards" is a hint.
