Ah, I went back and reread it as you not falling for it. Makes sense.

I downloaded it for a free quarter pounder and it wants to update now. I need to delete it.

Can you just cash one of those checks?

quote:yes, this makes it very clear you didn't get scammed.
So I deposit it, it clears in 24 hours, I pay out $2700 then it bounces or a stop payment. I lose $2700.

Yeah I read it as that too. But if so he’s Bill Burrs that guy.

That letter is poorly written and is pushing you to make the transaction ASAP.
This wasn’t a clue?
“24-8hours”. LOL

Terrible wording by OP.
Makes it sound like he fell for it.

I don’t think he fell for it. I think he just wrote that paragraph like he works for The Advocate. I think he meant that is what would happen if he went through with the deal.

I totally reread it and saw where I fricked up and changed it. No wonder why everyone thought I deposited it. No. I saw the check and knew it was fake, I've heard of this scam before.
I have the letter and the check.
Postal inspector wants me to say my bank is delaying clearing the check.
