I realized this was a scam once he told me to cash a $2600 check, then wanted me to wire money to painters in colorado so that they can drive to Santa fe, new mexico to paint his house....um... first of all that makes no sense and second of all... hell no! after that I didn't email him back. He has sent me 5 emails in just 8 days and even told me that I was going to 'rot in jail" if I didn't respond.
He offered me a job and sent me a chexk. He wants me to wire money to abroad. I have been in suspiscious and did not know how to handle it. What should I do?

Tell him you're onto his scam. If you deposit the check and wire the money, guess what? In a few days to maybe even weeks from now, the check will be returned as a fake. Which means that you are now on the hook for the amount on the check, plus any fees. AND you may be charged with passing a fraudulent instrument (fake check)! You can also take the check to the Postal Inspector - they investigate mail fraud.
