Banks and the law do not recognize post dated checks. If you write a check, it can be cashed at any time. The reason for this is that there are bad check laws. In most jurisdictions it is against the law to write a check without having the funds in the account.
" I am sick of being scammed."
One thing you can do to avoid this is to refuse to by anything that is being sold door to door (unless the person is wearing a Girl Scout uniform). The only things sold door to door are either scams, or products that are not good enough to be sold through normal retail avenues.
The scam magazine subscription sales are an old one. It's been around for at least 40 years.
