Sounds WAY too familiar. Been chatting via email (would not give phone number due to 'too busy to talk'). Wanted to order products but said did not use credit card and would send a check. Shortly after that said there was a mistake with the check being mailed and that it was more than what the total amount was for. Just signed for a check today from South Africa for $3000 over the amount. My question to you...what did you do? I'm not about to send a check but wondering where to go from here.
Going by name of Mrs. Teague Dickson. Sent fake check from Canada for 1900 dollars. Said it was accidentally an overage for a 300 order of products. Wanted me to send difference.
Sending fake checks through the mail is a crime so contact the US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx
Or turn it over to the local post master..
You could also turn it over to the FBI.. if this person sent any emails etc, then you might be able to turn those over as well.
