The person behind this number got my information from a babysitting site and claimed they were moving here from Australia. Sent me a check for my first weeks pay in advance and the rest was said to be for them. After they got their money, the check bounced, and they've been avoiding me since.
scam repeated here many times. If they were in Australia, the first question you asked is why do they have a Texas phone number? You will never see that money again. This was a very expensive lesson for you, you now have to make good on the check and the fees that go along with it. If you still have the envelope, and the bank is willing to give you the check back, take them to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors. My guess is the letter wasn't mailed from Australia.
