The T and B scam is just another of the counterfeit check cashing scam. They'll mail fake checks
to you, you deposit them in you bank account and then send them a money gram
BEFORE the checks clear the bank. They take the money and you're left with
a debt to your bank for the check that didn't clear, and possibly a criminal
charge for passing a counterfeit check.
One obvious clue is there
is not a legitimate company in the world (with ANY sense) that would use a free
Yahoo email account as their contact email. Anyone can get a free email
account like that.

decreasing.
