It IS a scam. Run away, as quickly as you can.

Turn it in to your local police department with all the pertinent information (copies of the emails, return address etc.)

Oh, and don't send the snake. That address is probably bogus.

Careful with the payment that was sent, if it is money order, it is fake.

Matthew,

Would you mind posting this in the BOI with the complete information of the person? It's more of a thread for that forum than for the General Business Discussions. This thread will be locked shortly.

Thanks,

Dan

Also, if you cashed that check, it will bounce. If you don't have enough money to cover the amount of the bounced check, you will start bouncing checks too.

If you cashed it, deposit the money until you know whether or not, ha, the check is good.
