No he will not do anything. U can even call him on it by saying. The cheque has been destroyed as I found out from authorities that this a scam. No further communication will be made from this pt. thank u. And then he will just move on to the next person. Dont beat yourself up not everyone knows a scam, when ur desperate to fill a spot, u go for it. This is how he gets u. If u were to send the money back he would then have ur banking info and wipe u clean. A good rule to remember for the future......NEVER fill a spot or accept money with out MEETING THE FAMILY IN PERSON FIRST!!!!
But don't worry he won't do anything. Rip the check up!
