Mr Richard.

Do you think this is a scam?

I cannot even confirm that MItco has offices in the United States. IT is fishy at best. Anyone know more?

THe email posted by Mladylaw is really bizarre, saying excess money will arrive UPS and deduct your pay etc??

What the heck is this thing?

Simple... it's a phony check. The scamster wants you to cash it and wire him the excess via Western Union. They avoid using the US Mail to avoid mail fraud charges, that's why they insist on "no PO box."
