I am a professional musician and teacher I was contacted by someone using the name Debbie Mann via email about music lessons for her son. After a week of emailing back and forth we arranged for 8 lessons and and an amount that I would charge. A few days later a check arrived made out to me for an amount higher that what I was charging for the lessons. She wanted me to deposit the check and then wire the excess money to Robert Payne her son's care taker. I deposited the check and after two days my bank told me that the check had cleared and the money was available. At that point thinking the money was in my account I withdrew cash and wired the money. Two days later my bank reversed the deposit and I was left missing the $2240 that I had withdrawn.
