Hello Doodz,
Please drop contact with the scammer as you surely are using your Real Life information. Remember, you are dealing with Criminals and although it's rare, they have been known to knock on doors of people who make them angry. I'm sure you understand the idea of keeping you and your family safe from these thugs.

@Doodz

Please do not bait this scammer. He has your daughters and family real life information.

The best thing you can do is give envelope and contents to your banks fraud dept.

To get back at the scammer and put a hurting on him post all the emails he sent along with email address on our sister site www.scamwarners.com

^^^ I'm going to put it bluntly - you're an idiot.

You may mistakenly think that you can handle yourself, but would your wife/daughter/other family members be able to do the same when a gang of thugs turn up and you're not around?

Do what the others have said, stop playing the big man and drop this before you cause your family real problems.

Police are not dealing with him. He is using a fake name, free email provider, and a victim sending/printing fake checks..

As an Ex Security Officer would you advise anyone to play and trick criminals.

This criminal has all your information. You only have fake information on him.

This criminal as may have some one nearby that can visit you. If or/when he gets pissed. You can not protect your family 24/7.

Cease all contact with him. That is my Eater advice and mine.

ETA: beat to the reply.

B8er is right again. Petrol through the letterbox while you're asleep is a nasty thing to try to stop. Locking this so you can go and think the possibilities over.
