Yes this is a scam. I deposited this so called $1,995.00 check in my acct and three days letter thr fraud dept from my bank calls me and explained that these people are doing this illegally to try to get into your bank acct. I closed mine out today. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID> Felt like an idiot in my own bank. How embarrassing and humiliating!!! Jerks!!!
