Hon,
That is the oldest SCAM there is. If you do get a check it will be a fake. Many people have ended up in trouble for this. I mean like you could be the one going to JAIL.
How it works is like this: you will put the check through your bank account or cash it. Many times, the bank will even put a hold on it & tell you its valid. Then later, when the check go to clear the bank will find out that its FRAUD. So, to recover their monies they (bank) are going to come after you. And, they WILL prosecute you.
Never, ever believe this sort of offer. Why would anyone send you monies then tell you to send some to some body else? They have you to send the rest of the monies to someone that usually ends up being them. Then when the FRAUD is discovered, you will be left holding the bag.
If you think you are having a hard time now,how hard will it be when you are doing JAIL time?
Who will care for your kids then?
I wish you the best.
