>> the check that you deposited in your account will bounce.. <<
Correct.
Read this ... carefully!

Extract:
"In these cases, the depositor most likely will be held responsible for the entire amount of the fraudulent check."
Instead of cashing the check, or sending it back, take it and the envelope in which it came to the post office. They will use it as evidence and pursue the scammer.
Same as above answered a craigslist add for housekeeping and he sent me a check I'm not that stupid lol but that check sure did look nice.Says his name was Kevin Carter.
I got the same message about the guy who wants me to help him clean gave me 1950 which I deposited and now the check is on debit/hold. Did not send any money though or take any out was waiting for it to clear. Told me his name was Mr Alex Wendy. Is this a scam?
