Hey i got the same email to but i made a post in craigslist looking for a job...the original email was from
"Looking for job and you are trustworthy send message to
[email protected]. I just lost my step mother so am going to my father's house right now wont be able to get in touch until late tonight
Sent from my HTC One™ X, an AT&T 4G LTE"
so yes its a scam....i mean you can cash the check but go to jail over something not real? nah not worth it
