Standard scam-why else would he want you to do his banking for him-of course you could always accept it, then wait say 2-3 weeks to make sure the funds are available(or more likely not) before you send the remainder to him. That should screw him up-goes to all the trouble of sending you e-mails and a countefeit cheque-and then you don't send him the balance with a REAL cheque-how annoying. John |
