I responded to the email and recieved a check in the mail for $1,950. I was told to cash the check, keep $450 for myself and western union the remainder of the money to Nigeria.

The check was drawn on Wachovia Bank, the name and address of the sender did not exist (anywhere I looked. I took the check to Wachovia to tell them about the things I had learned regarding the fraudulent check. They also checked into the check and low and behold, the check was a fraudulent item.
