This is a scam they want you to cash the check and then send it to someone overseas ex: Russia. But you have to send it western union. If you received the check watch your email you will get instructions. I sent all of it to the bank and am letting them deal with it.
Boy oh boy,is it a scam ever clever? This is my first one that I ever got half pinned with,and I say half pinned because thank GOD that I couldn't send the money the way they specified on their instructions. You see Western Union wouldn't allow me to send more than $999.99 to Russia and I wanted to send $2,834.13,I've already cashed the check and according to their instructions I could send up to "$3,000 per day not to exceed $50,000 a month",so that was my first red flag up,then I checked the postmark and to my surprise it is from Sirkeci,this is a train station in an area in the Emin枚n眉 district of the city of Istanbul, Turkey,second red flag up,and upon some more research I come to find out that even tough my bank on line access tells me the check cleared,that was not the case and had I been successful in the transfer process the check would have bounced back and I've would have lost the original amount plus $39 dollars for NSF in the account. I still lost seven dollars to the bank for processing and that after pleading to them if they were planning to make money after my reporting the issue to them and out of my misfortune. My bank told me that they were reporting this issue to Fraud Alert and the Feds. Moral of the story: DAMMMMMN IT! If it looks almost too legit to pursue,it probably isn't.
Yes it is a scam. If you sent out money, your not going to see it again.
