Always check your statements too. I think there is a chit chat thread on identity theft here somewhere.
I'm glad you didnt get taken by that idiot. Did you report it to the cops? They could put all the stores in the area on alert for that guy and others that may be trying the same tactic.

Honestly, it was a pretty bad forgery. If someone fell for it, they'd almost deserve to be caught.
About as good as the time I had a customer try to pass me some temp checks that he had typed the name/address info on with a typewriter. It was crooked
