A 19-year-old Salina man avoids being a victim of a scam after he deposited checks into his bank account, and the bank said the checks were bogus.

Between December 9th and 23rd the man had received emails selecting him to be paid for buying presents for children in foster care.&nbsp; 

The man received 3-$1,000 Wells Fargo money orders to place in his bank account. He was then told&nbsp; to wire $2,800 to California. His bank put a hold on the money orders in his account and contacted the man to tell him the money orders were not real. The man also received calls from someone pressuring him to wire money to California.
