said by Cailly:So, I got an email advertising for a payroll officer. I fgured a scam and I was bored so I played along. I was told to go get stamps, envelopes and computer printable blank check paper. then email when I had them. then they told me to download some check printing software. which I did. then they said download this template, which I did. then they said to print out 67 pages of checks, which I said I did and they now want me to mail them a check. weird this is, the company on the check template is real, so is the bank, its address and routing number. And the company that I am supposed to mail a sample of printed checks to is the real and the address the email gives is their address.

I know this have to be a scam, I am wondering if anyone else out there has gotten this type of email or not?
Cailly, Welcome to DSLR. Can you post the emails here with full headers (personal information eradicated of course). That would help immensely. Also, what was the software and where did you download it from?
Here is one such thread that pcdebb
