This post is a scam. That anyone besides a 4 year old says "I haven't did any work" with no comma between "is the usual" is apparent. Do members of this forum just throw out one of these every now and then to have the subject brought up?
The only way anyone would know for sure that this post was fake was if they did it themselves, LOL. Spicy, did you just throw out this post to have the subject brought up? No, I didn't really think so. Seems like an awful lot of bother for someone to create a new screen name just to bring up the subject. If I or most other forum members wanted to broach the subject, we would start a thread with the subject line of something like "About scams and receiving large checks in the mail" and then start out the post with something like, "I know this has been discussed many times before, but..."
Meanwhile, we should assume that the OP was looking for validation that the check is fake and offer whatever advice that we can to keep them safe from falling victim to the scam.
