I filled out an application for a restaurant reviewer position a few months ago. A couple of weeks later I got an email from a 'Dennis Burton' asking for my contact info so he can mail me an evaluation packet, I replied and didn't here from him until I received an email from him this morning.

This seemed fishy to me for various reasons, so I did not reply. I came home from work to find a package containing a cashiers check addressed to me in the amount of $1450.00. This is a scam. No legitimate company operates in this way. The cashiers check is fraudulent. Do not deposit it.
