I was in contact with a gentleman by the name of Jim Connay, who said he represented Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland. He said the usual stuff about sending me a check and to keep the 10% commission. He sent me the information on where to send the money. I sent it to the person stated in the email but not right away. This Connay guy called me at 4:30 in the morning of July 5th, wanting to know where the money was. I sent the money via Moneygram later that day. For some reason, I kept checking the balance on my bank account and sure enough, I was missing $3800.00 from my account. The check I cashed was a fake but looked very, very real. It was from HSBC and even had a remitter's name which I can't remember at this time. Just be aware of these kind of people.
