I received a job inquiry through ProZ from kellivandeman.premierpackaging@gmail.com, posing as Kelli VanDeman at Permier Packaging. I sent "her" (some dude in Nigeria) a quote of USD 509.12. "She" then sent a fake or home-made cashier's check in the amount of USD 3509.12.

The scam goes like this: My bank will cash the check, the customer then wants USD 3000 returned to them (the overpaid amount), which the victim would send because the bank cashed the check, then 2 weeks from now the bank will figure out that the check is a fake and want their money back, i.e., the victim is out of 3k.

After talking with a few folks about how fishy this seemed, they quickly suggested I decline the job. Looks like you all feel the same way bout it too. Cashier's Check is too risky... See more
