Yes. And when it gets to the bank, they'll figure it out. Then you'll be brought up on forgery charges, among others.

Sounds like a scam, don't fall for it.

Answer 14

Yes you are right.  please dont send him any money

He is trying to play on your emotions.  I had a friend who the girl held a conversation with him earned his trust and got him to send her money.  She said she was stuck in germany and needed to the US because germany had no opportunities. She joined a program to help her move to the US and she could go anywhere and she wanted to move to where he was.  She sent him pictures and answered his questions and sent a copy of her passport and everything but it was a scam... I have another friend who was scammed into cashing checks that were sent to her in the mail and sending some money back to an address.  She was arrested at the bank and spent a month in jail WAITING for trial. The devil will send things to break you because he knows what weakness to work on...dont fall for it
