Re: is it a con?
If someone sent me a cheque for 4500 euro for a 1000 euro payment, I'd reply saying they should send me 5500 euro by western union and I'd send them a cheque for 4500 in return

Re: is it a con?
got another one today as follows:
Thanks for getting back to us,We had a meeting with our sponsors/company on Friday afternoon,and after careful consideration, we would like to inform you that your offer in total of 1500 euros is fantastic and accepted by us, Please have it reserved for us .
We have been handed a group vacation package in order of a Certified Bank Cheque of (£4,870)Pounds by our company to cover costs of the accommodation/ car rental services etc for 6 of us coming from England but due to circumstances 2 persons in our crew opted for a different destination and will not be able to make the trip any more.
I will not be able to make a deposit separately because all the money came in one cheque package, Therefore i have been instructed to send you the Cheque, so when you receive the check payment you are required to deduct the cost of your accommodation services and keep the balance of the money which had already been designated for other logistics arrangements for us all.
We will now be using part of the balance during our stay and I will give you further instructions on how to use the remaining balance. I need you to confirm this and provide the following information:
(1) YOUR FULL NAME .as will appear on check ,
(2) YOUR ADDRESS and
(3) YOUR PHONE NUMBER. For better communication
Do you also arrange car hire for your guests? I will await your email with the details so that instructions can be given for the cheque payment to be forwarded to you immediately.
Kind Regards
Kate Sandler
the answer they received was: HOPE YOU GET THE PUNISHMENT YOU DESERVE!
