This scam happened to me about almost a year ago. Where the company was in a 3rd world country where they send me the cashiers check and I take out the fee plus my salary that they pay me. Anyways what happened was they sent me a gross of $10k in 4 different checks I deposited all the checks and told him that I will have to wait till it clears. About 3 days after I got the first 4 initial checks I recieved another one for $4500 and deposited that and didn't tell the scammer that I recieved that check.

so the first 4 check bounce and I still had the $4500 he sent me and it actually cleared. I emailed him and told him that I had caught onto his scam and he didn't return my numerous emails. So basically he sent $10k fake checks and he lost $4500, I loss $80 in bounce checks but I gained $4500 from the scammer.

One thing does bother me, he had me fax him my info which has all my contact info and I don't remember my social security and he does have my drivers lisence.
