The funny thing is, Amazon's bots do manage to kill a bunch of legitimate listings that it thinks are related to drugs. One of my side hustles is buying stuff at auction and reselling it, and I bought some new grill parts from a grill and fireplace store that closed. I sent some into Amazon. They recently emailed me that they had pulled one of the listings I was selling for a "smoker pipe" - a metal pipe you fill with wood chips and put in your grill - because you aren't allowed to sell drug pipes on Amazon.

While most middle-class people in the US use direct-deposit and major banks, many lower-income people use check-cashing stores for a couple reasons. Most banks require a social security number to open a checking account, and illegal immigrants often don't have them. Also, most banks will run a background check through CheckSystems to make sure a person opening an account doesn't have a history of bounced checks, so if you've bounced checks in the past it's pretty hard to open an account. And some people just prefer check cashing stores because they are open more hours and are more likely to be located in bad neighborhoods.

I've updated my screen shot to include a better view of when the MSAntiSpyware feels it might want to remove itself.
