3 weeks ago I added a fuction to my site.
The program works that after someone signs up with a check they cannot login untill they are manually approved.
The database knows its a check since we have CCBill do a form post and check signups the sub ID starts with a 6.
Now that I have been doing this for 3 weeks I can report some stats.
First take a look what happens when someone signs up with a check and they try to login:

User: frosty
Password: charles
Now that I used it for over 3 weeks here is some interesting stuff:
Every single bad check that was submitted the user used a free email service 99% are hotmail and yahoo.
I noticed that at least 20% that I can confirm signed up using a credit card after reading that warning. (I noticed they used the same user name and pass as when they did the bullshit check)
I did not have a single person bitch about this.
And noone that emailed from a real account used a bad check.
Now this does not stop them from signing up with bullshit checks but it does save me money on my BW bill.
The only reason I am removing the check option is because affiliates asked me to.
In the past 3 weeks I got about 300 check signups.
