Then I searched this person, apparently he/she used the same EXACT story several times.
This person over pays you with a fake check, and asks you to wire money to another person, thus resulting in the other person getting your money, and you oweing your bank money!
I have not personally done it, but I researched it, and read several stories about it.
Just would like to warn everyone!!!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
