yeah its fake had same thing happen to me off craigslist from a painting add. I told him i would not do it unless he sent me a money order haha, a check came in the mail took it to my bank and they confirmed what i thought, SCAM. Good lines too it was like he want his apartment painted while he was out of the states and to get the keys off the landlord when he sent me the check also had fund on it to pay his months rent but i was supposed to deposit it even tho i told him i either take cash, money order or western unions only no checks. Bank said they wouldnt have checked if i just deposited it until it was too late and then id be charge for a bad deposit. Im glad they checked it out for me when i ask them too, no fees lol
If it seems" too good to be true", it usually is
