DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CASH THAT CHEQUE! - It's Fake!! I would advise not to communicate with this person anymore. If they do attempt to make contact with you, do not reply. This person obviously has your address, but it is extremely unlikely anyone will turn up on your doorstep asking about the cheque. |

The cheque would appear to clear, in that the money will appear in your account. So you withdraw the money, and send it via western union to this person. Then, a few days or weeks later your bank discovers the cheque is fake, and the money is deducted from your account, leaving you thousands out of pocket. To make matters worse, there may be police involvement, as you attempted to pass a fake cheque. This person is almost certainly not female. Stop communicating with this person now. Going forward, never, ever hand out you personal details to any person you encounter on the net who asks for it - you are now at risk of identity theft. |

wud sumone reli come to my door? If you bank the check and DO NOT spend the money nothing will really happen, because in a few weeks when the check is found to be counterfeit the bank will just take the money back out of your account. If you bank the check and spend the money, then the bank will demand that you repay them the money once they find out that it is counterfeit. If you want to get rid of her, just tell her that the bank told you that the check was counterfeit. |
