I replied that this is a scam and don’t waste your time sending me anything.The mistake I made was providing my home address to pick up the items. I recieved a Bank Check today for a ridiculously high amount of money and at first I didn’t understand why I received it but then I recalled my email from this scammer. The Bank Check is a scam but it looks very real so BEWARE. I can’t believe the extremes people will go to steal your money.
Yes, that is a very common scam here. Don’t fall for it.
