I disagree on this one, this is actually a internet scam/mail fraud type of deal. I actually was on Yahoo when some chick tries to offer me two checks to cash. She claims that she was a heir to some rich guy from Africa, and that since she can't trust no one else with them. She thinks I'm a nice guy by the way I chatted with her. hahaha.. Her story was for me to cash it and split it with her when she comes to the states. After ignoring her... She began pleain me to give her my name, address, phone number, to verify that I was legit.
I don't know if you guys know the scam part works but its something about they'll try to drain your bank account once they have all the information.. you know how they get your SSN?
Well, when you go cash their check. The bank will write down your D.O.B and SSN (for some that didn't swap to random.) The crooks will get a e-copy of that check through their bank with all your information.
