Ok So Here I Am Again . After Telling this person last month (June 9th , to be exact) that i no longer want to deal with him, I receive a FEDEX Envelope in the mail from a Stephanie Harris . Phone Number (216) 476-2682. Address: 18118 Lorain Ave, Cleveland, OH 44111. I Called the number, it was disconnected. Inside the envelope is a check for 3,499.50. I dont understand why the check was still sent to me after i told this guy i was onto his scam and that i didnt want to be a part of it. the check is from chase bank, and tomorrow morning i am taking the check to them and telling them to do what they please with it because i dont want it. But my question is, why would he continue to send the check even after I said I no longer want to communicate with him? :evil:

1. The scammer may not have believed you that you don't want to be involved.
2. The person who ships out the forged checks didn't get the message.
3. The scammer may hope that you do deposit the check and get arrested for it because you didn't go along with their plan. Yes, scammers can be vindictive.

Most likely, someone along the chain didn't get the message.

What ever you do do NOT cash the check. Follow through with your plan to surrender it or just destroy it. If you do surrender it take emails with you and the package you received the check in.

Good that you are being cautious!
