Have you clicked on the 'Avoid Scams' button on your 'my stuff' page?

No. That would have been too easy . Thanks for the heads up. I'll do it now.

Well, that section is not really informative with regards to this type of contact. They haven't asked for anything, nor did they provide a link to click. I replied back asking for more information. I can usually spot this crap right away, so I will see how they respond. And I will post back here for anyone else's benefit.

Haha! No... Here's the reply, and the broken english, and the scam of send a check - deduct your portion. You would think this crap would get old with these folks.

The names change but the scam is always the same.

I like that she asks you for your rates, and then sends you a flat $500 anyway. I wonder what she would do if you said you charge $10/hour?
