"Mexican family" scam

Ignore him. Don't respond and bring the cheque to the police with a print out of his emails. You weren't scammed! You never cashed the cheque so you are fine.

Hi. It is so sad that this kind of criminals have access to our homes through their emails. Please, please. Do not send any money if you can and you're responding to them tell then that you're already filing a report with the police. You'll see how that will scare them. Now with all the technology they can be tracked. They do not have heart they belon to crime organized groups. And most likely they do not work alone. They also know, how to use technology.

This is a spam, and it is better if you don't reply
