I recieved an email from this woman and have not recieved the cheque. She did not give me any additional information, just that she is in spain and her manager Mark Murphy would bring the cheque and her son would pick it up after the cheque cleared. If its too good to be true....

I have been chatting with a man named Sean McCartney, he is from the uk and went to work in Negeria for some company to build a road.. He claims he is a engineer.. Says he has a daughter named Melissa.. We talked for a few months as time went on he asked me to help him out.. Said he was in a bad situation there and had no money for food or for housing.. I felt so bad so I sent him some money.. Then he said if I sent him 1000.00 to open this account with a man names scott Anderson of  CREDIT SUISSE BANK AG1 Cabot Square,City of London,London EC14 4QJ.United Kingdom.Then he would forward 30000.00 to me.. Then he wanted me to western union it to him.. Then it turned into 3000.00 he needed.. I said no he got mad and stopped talking to me for a week or so.. Then one day he called me again.. This time crying begging me to help him.. I told him I didn't have the money for that.. He said he figured something out said he was going to have a cheque sent to me for 19000.00 and wanted me to western union the money to him.. He said this guy was going to mail it to me..

This is a totally scam.. This is Sean's number.. +234 8178255326.. He isn't who he says he is.. Don't fall for it..

I as well have been scammed from this man.

I also received an email from the same person with the same story.  As you would expect, I was extremely cautious as well.  We've all seen too many scams over the internet to truly trust anyone anymore.  At the same time, the only information she asked of me was my name and address to send the check to.  Knowing that you can look that up in any phone book, I took a chance and provided it to her.  Two days later, I received a check and will be bringing it to the bank to cash shortly.  Assuming it goes through, her son can come pick up his new car.  I will remain extraordinarily vigilant until that time however and am weighing her every move to be sure I'm not missing something.

My gut feeling right now is that she is probably for real and has had a heck of a time purchasing a car for her son without being present in the country.  I can only imagine what it would be like if I were in her position trying to do the same for my child.  Hopefully my gut is right and this isn't just the latest and greatest scam.

I too got a cheque for more than the amount of the car,I found the number of the company on the cheque and called them only to fing out it is all a scam as i thought it was,I did inform local police and was told to also report it to the antifraud center1-+1 888-495-8501
