This seems familiar; I recall discussing how shell companies often use PO boxes to hide their true identity, which might make businesses cautious.

I'm a little confused by this question. What exactly are the "shell company schemes" they're referring to? I'll have to think it through more carefully.

Ah, this is a good one. I can see how businesses would be cautious about sending checks to vendors who are trying to hide their location. I'll mark it as True.

Okay, I think I understand the logic here. Businesses would probably be more suspicious of vendors without a real physical address. I'll go with True on this one.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to think carefully about the reasons businesses might be wary of sending checks to vendors with only a street address.
