I got variation on this theme from one Bishop as well.

See info from Idaho BBB which outlines how these scammers try to take you. Check out www.idahostateman.com/2012/07/11/v-print/2185 ... tect-businesses 

Bottom line all generally include the following:

1. They always "offer" to give you Money upfront (just like they used to show money on the streets of NY in a paper bag or show a wad of money in a casino)

2. Winnings, job, purchase, windfall (whatever) is always BIG so it gets your adrenaline up.

3. Once they "give" you money (forged or bogus check, stolen/fraudulent credit card etc) you must give, send, wire money "right away" before the "promise" goes into action.''

4.  They have your money, you have nothing but a bogus check, credit card or empty bag.  If you sold them goods, you lost that too.

Be AWARE!  Anything that sounds too good to be true probably IS!
