I received the same e-mail they have been texting me on my phone. They were advising me to deposit the check but I did not. They kept on bugging me and also said did you get your first assignment on e-mail. After looking into your post I believe it is a scam. I was scam once before I do not want to be in the same situation.
I have received the money order from MoneyGram It looks real not counterfeit. They gave me two money order of $835 total of $1670.
I read that I should shed it but what if they come back and say they want to sue me? They have my address? What should I do? Should I go to the IC3 the Federal Internet people or local police?
I'm attaching the assigment.
