Although I hadn't been on the VWVORTEX forum for too long, I received this suspicious email as of late.......

I'm sure some of you are familiar with this type of scheme, but if not, here's how it goes:
I give him my address and other personal info to receive a "check" from this guy's "client". I deposit the "check" at the bank, and wait for it to clear. In the meantime, I send the products and the difference in the $5000 to this "Nick Jones" within a week's time or so. Then the $5000 check turns out to be fake and I'm out of my money and my items, while this crook laughs all the way to the bank.
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up so that you don't get swindled by this crackhead if he ever shows his face around here.
