Anytime some random stranger contacts you and asks you to deposit a check for your pay or expenses (or some other BS), you should take it as a scam.  More info here on how this type of scam works:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning consumers of a dangerous and growing swindle called the “check overpayment” scam, now the fifth most common telemarketing fraud and the fourth most common Internet scam reported.

In the check overpayment scam, the person you are doing business with sends you a check for more than the amount they owe you, and then instructs you to wire the balance back to them. Or, they send a check, and tell you to deposit it, keep part of the amount for your own compensation, and then wire the rest back for one reason or another. The results are the same: the check eventually bounces, and you’re stuck, responsible for the full amount, including what you wired to the scammer.

Typical victims include persons selling something over the Internet, being paid to do work at home, or being sent “advance winnings” in a bogus sweepstakes.

The checks in this scam are fake, but they look real enough to fool most bankers.

The FTC offers the following tips for avoiding the check overpayment scam:

Know who you’re dealing with – independently confirm your buyer’s name, street address, and telephone number.
If you’re selling something over the Internet, say “no” to a check for more than your selling price, no matter how tempting the plea or convincing the story.
There is no legitimate reason for someone who is giving you money to ask you to wire money back.
More advice on how to be on guard against Internet fraud is available atOnGuardOnline.gov.

Consumers are asked to report check overpayment scams to their state Attorney General, the National Fraud Information Center/Internet Fraud Watch, a service of the National Consumers League at www.fraud.org or 1-800-876-7060, or the FTC atwww.ftc.gov or 1-877-FTC-HELP.

I just had the same situation and I believed for couple hours... I gave in my adress and phone number  when he said that he will send a check with extra money to pay for toys and I had to do it.... I figured that it is a scam. I told him not send any check  I only accept cash.,. And is the same  story about a wife that has cancer and will in town for treatment. Bs! We need to find a way to put this guy in jail!!!!

I agree. 111111111111%!!!!
I am willing to call the FBI or anyone to get involved in this situation. He might be a serial killer. He IS a complete psycho! He told me the same exact thing! The wife cancer the girl of 4 years old the toys for her and check he will send the wanting the bank account and full name and address!! This is some pyscho s#%^*t! I am extremely upset. He/she is wasting my time and my energy. And I speak for all of us who are wanting to really help parents! I will report him!!

He will be tracked down. And locked up. For life.

The same exact thing just happened to me. I am worried because I stupidly gave him my full name and address. I tried to white page his name and got no one for Brydon Holmes in the U.S.
