---------------------------------------------------------------

my concern; payment before actual project, and also the large amount of pay for someone inexperienced like me. I am assuming scam.

also the 4th of August is over so i am assuming it's a complete scam.

Should I CAM it?

Absolutely - I have seen versions of this scam numerous times.

yes, definitely a scam

It's cool that they wanted to know your "burst size"!

Wait... what's a burst!?

I JUST received a check from a situation like this TODAY!!!
The did not ask for my bank information, that is why I assumed it was legit.
I am JUST now reading this, what should I do with the check? Rip It?

Ok. Thank you so much, I will!
I am so GLAD I came upon this forum before I went to the bank!!
*WHEW*

Question from a nosy bystander.  What happens if one cashes the check.  I hope this is not too stupid, but the bank honors it and you get money.  I assume the check with bounce.  Is the person responsible for the money that withdrawn or is the bank shit out of luck.

wow im so glad i found this thread~ i received the check but was very iffy about it so decided to do some research~ so if they know your email address and your actual house address.. what are some precautions you can take to prevent any harm?

Why can these people never write decently?!
Oh wait... cause they're from "Italy"

Have them send the deposit to me, I'll make sure it's real money beforehand, and let you know.  Just say'n...
