Received email from consultants.com. Is it real or a scam? Email text:http://jdmarko.com/email-text....

Received the following email today from frankcarthymr@consultant.com, and if it's real, it would be great. But something seems off. The email headers follow the text of the email.





Is this a scam? Is it real? Are there ways to "play along" until I know for sure that it really is a scam?

You're wise for asking. Yes. It is absolutly a scam.


NEVER give out personal information, bank, credit card, etc. I'm sure you already know this. Some people do play along, but it's not a good idea unless you know what you're doing.





This is similar to the Nigerian scams. Type that in your search bar and you can find out all about them.





How it works:


They send you a check for more than you need for the "trip". It looks good to the bank, so they cash it. You then immediately wire the so-called "excess funds" back to them and keep a nice portion of it for yourself. A few days later, the bank informs you that the check was not good. You are held liable. The crooks walk off with most of the money.
