"Last Word"-Busting The Fake Internet Check Scam

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, a crackdown on bogus emails that promise fast, easy money. You've probably seen them.

So far, the U.S. postal inspection service has seized more than 540,000 fake checks, written for more than $2 billion. It's called "Operation Dutch Treat."
