The person requested we forward the extra funds to the wedding planner. The check arrived via FedEX overnight and was for $2,150.
Big “red flag” and loud bells went off. Yep, calling the bank we learned that the check was fraudulent.
Bottom line - once again beware of these types of scams.

You needed to get the $2150 check before seeing a red flag????
