  Information
Name:
Daniel Zhou Kunshan
Email Address:
chowleezhou@live.com
said he found my ad for tutoring, and sent me a cheque with no questions asked, saying he wanted me to teach his son, Justin, when he came to town. Asked for my address to send the cheque to, and i (stupidly) obliged.

He sent me a cheque, which was too big, and is asking for the difference. I haven\'t cashed it, and would like to scambait, if anyone could provide guidance. He wants the difference by western or moneygram, as is typical of these types.

the address he wants this stent to is a PO box area, and the country is wrong, and in the last email (attached below) his last name changes to bowman

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.
