It's a part of the ol' "Check Overpayment" scam. They send you a bogus check with the hopes that you will put it in your bank, send them the $$ they are asking for, and then they get the $$ and run!! In the meantime that checks bounces and you are held liable for the check amount plus fees. Sounds like with this scam they also are trying to get some sort of product out of you; and are probably using another "mule" victim to get that product out of you. Glad you came here and posted and did not fall for it!! ☺ |
