This Would be a $463.97 order, however I offered a 15% discount. She wanted to pay by check which I didn't think anything of beyond the fact that I wasn't going to submit the order until after it cleared. Today however, I received a check for $3,550 with no explanation right before I had to go to work. When I got home and checked my email, I had two messages from her:
How are you doing today? By now you have gotten the check and i haven't heard from you till now. Kindly get the check cashed and get back to me soon so i can give you my shipper information which you will use to send the money to them because they are really on hold expecting to get their money. I will be waiting for your response. Do have a wonderful day.
Thanks and God Bless,
Lucy.

Hello ,
How are you doing today? I just want you to know that the payment of $3,550 by check has been made and sent to you through FEDEX which you have collected. You can get it tracked withe this tracking # ( xxxxxxxxxxxx ) at
http://www.fedex.com/us. kindly get the check cashed at any local cashing point or bank around you. Let me know as soon as you have cashed the check so i can give you my shipper information who you will send the remaining balance to. I will be expecting to hear from you soon. It's really nice doing business with you. Do have a wonderful day.
Thanks,

I wasn't sure what to do with this so I found the email address for the FBI in my state and emailed what had happened, the addresses on the envelope and check, and a copy of my correspondence with this person; is there anything I should do beyond this?
