Dear Christopher.
This is to quickly update you that one of our clients who is interested in purchasing one of our product has sent you a payment via USPS.The Package Should be delivered Tomorrow by 3pm,Signature is Required at the time of delivery so kindly make sure you or someone is home to sign for it.
In the package would be a check and you are to deduct $400 as your payment for this week. Upon delivery of the check, you are to deposit the whole check into your bank account and allow 24-48 working hours for the funds to be added to your available balance, then you will deduct your weekly salary of 400$ plus extra 50$ for gas to drive around and i will then give you further instructions on how to remit the rest of the funds to the Auction Bank account where i won the art piece and once they confirm the payment then,They would go ahead and ship the art piece to you and once you get it then i would provide you my ups account information that you will use to ship the art piece to the customer who sent you the payment, After all this is done then that completes your first assignment.So kindly let me know when you deposit and when the bank says the funds will be available so i can give you further instructions.

Have seen that exact e mail a million times before. Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.
Thank you for everyone that posted on here, my boyfriend received a call from this number from a woman calling herself christina Roberts offering him a job. It seemed to be a scam so I googled the number and sure enough.
