This person by the name "Michael Johnson" has been emailing me took my name and email from a classified ad. Pertending to be interested in the furniture I was selling. Wanted to lnow if I would accept a bank check. Sent a check for much more than the asking price and in someone else name. asked me to call once I receive it. I automatically knew something wasn't right. Took it to the bank named on the check and showed it to them. They told me i was right not to try cashing or depositing it in my own bank account. Stated they have had alot of them come through.
