Tell this moron to leave you alone and do not ever email you again. It is a scam , the check is fake and you'll end up in a lot of trouble with the bank if you cash that thing. I'll deal with Ben in the proper way, I'm gonna run every one of these dirtbags off this site. Anyone who gets emails of this nature , please post the scammer's email address in the sticky at the top of the forum.
