dominique: Grammatical blunders may not be the scam pointer here (a pointer nevertheless) . @OP, be sincere, is the job worth $1500? Because oyinbo people don't part with the monies like that. However, in my honest opinion, I think it's scam. |

MountainView: It's a scam! Why would the person be "just want to give you the job"? Also, I don't see how necessary it s the client detailing how you can cash your cheque. LOL |

Why check? Can't she do western union for you? You should be careful not to fall for scammers. They would probably send a fake check with more money and ask you to send them the remaining balance once the check is cleared. When you do that, the bank will later discover it's a fake check and put that account on the minus of the withdrawn amount. 1 Like |

Solid Scam. That person is a yahoo boy in the check business. They need the details to send a fake check. When the check is received and deposited, they will turn around and tell you that they are no longer interested. You will then be given another account to send the money to. You will indirectly be working as their mule without knowing. Whoever owns the account into which the check cleared will get into trouble, when the bank discovers the fraud, they will debit the amount straight away from the person's balance. By then the scammers are long gone. |
