Same scam just tried me May 8, 2020

I thought this recent translation would be legit, until she said she sent me an overpayment. Then I came to this post and saw the exact same verbage.
Her name was Amelie Moutet and it was a gmail address. She tried to send me $4800 for a $950 payment. Red flag. I played along and said just send me the $950 by bank wire and I'll void the check when it gets here. Let's see if she ever replies. I am about to contact my bank now to inform them of this just as a preventative.

Thanks, I just received this scam! May 9, 2020

Thanks for letting me know, I just received the scam as well and was wondering if it was a scam or not. It's exactly the way you said it, but I hadn't yet given my account information. Phew! I'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing.

Congratulations! You are the sole winner of $3850!

I have a collection of fake checks received after I played along.

It seems that there was another newcomer targeted by scammers.

Stay safe,
