Responded to a job offer on Craigslist. Turns out the guy only has a "one-off" job, that he has a customer with 7 laptops that need to have Win7 and some other software installed. After agreeing on a price, he said he will have his customer ship the laptops to me with a check for payment, and a little extra for me to ship them back to his client when I am done. He now sends me a check which is obviously a fake, and wants me to deposit it, then wait 24 hours, then take the cash from my account and western union it to the Philippines. I told him that I have deposited the check, but my bank won't credit my account for a week. I still have the check and have no intention of cashing or depositing it. I've reported this to the FBI and will see what I can do to help them catch this guy.
