Hi I Received a job offer from a guy in craigslist,He is saying he work as a successful Entrepreneur and he hired me for this job.Today he sent me a Check of $ 2,470 in the mail and he is asking me to deposit this check in my Bank account.And my First task is to withdraw that money and sent it to 2 other Businesses in Africa.He also said to keep $ 300 for my service.Should i Deposit the check ? I Worried ?? Please Help ???
It's a fake check. You might as well go deposit a leaf from the tree next door. The same thing will happen.
If you deposit it, it will take a week or two to bounce. You ll have to pay back any money you withdraw or send away. You'll have penalty fees for trying to deposit a bad check.
Okay, for the not that bright among us.... if you're ever in doubt, take the check to the bank and ask them if it's good or not. Or take it to the bank of issue, and try to CASH it.
That is too much of a fee for it to be real. What the end run will be is you will be out of the money you send to Africa. Most people have an extra 2000 in the checking account. Most banks will allow you to overdraft by a few thousand for a very short period of time, with a fee.
