Nigerian 419 scam???
In case you can't read the letter- here's the summary:
We somehow obtained your name and address and probably other private info about you and are sending you this fake check. We would like for you to deposit it and send us back only $3320.00. The rest of the check will be your reimbursement for thinking that we really are interested in hiring you so we decided to just send you this big irresistable check. The catch is that you have to send us back the required funds of $3320.00 within 48 hours. This way your bank won't have time to tell you that you are a dumb-*bleep* for depositing a fake check. Then you will be broke and pissed and we will be laughing our asses off.
Well, they can kiss mine.
