I also received a letter and check fro $3,750.00 with instructions to wire money to England via Western Union. Of course this is a scam, but I am fascinated to find out how it works.
I assumed that they would get the victim's cash before their check bounced. I called the number on the letter to ask what to do. They told me I can wait until the $3,750.00 check clears before I wire the $1,850.00 "non resident tax fee." That makes no sense. They did tell me I needed to call them after I deposit the check for further instructions, which I guess will be some kind of phishing for information.
Has anyone actually deposited the check to see what happens?
