Feb 17 14 11:46 pm Link They are basically asking you to pay everyone else, it's not your job to do that (its not even legal in some states), it does not make sense, it's a SCAM. They give you a big (fake) check, and are hoping you write them back a real check before you try and cash it and realize it is fake.
