<prompt> Human: I recently applied on a casting service and was offered a spot modelling for 2 hours. The person corresponding with me by email said hes going to send me a check for aprx. 4,000 dollars, from which I am to deduct my payment and send the remainder to wardrobe, from which they will send me my outfits for the shoots. I dont understand going through me to pay wardrobe and I dont understand why anyone would send someone they dont know 4,000 dollars. It feels similar to a cashiers check scam, where you ask someone to deposit 500 on their account and withdraw the money in cash, after which the cashiers check bounces. Is there a way I can verify the checks viability through my bank before depositing it? Or another method besides straight up asking them to prove their legitimacy?Edit: thanks all. If they send a cashiers check Ill get it verified, if not then no sweat Ill frame it lol.Edit 2: received the check, signature was a Benjamin Franklin, anybody know he still owns businesses?  <response>: Its a scam. No one sends extra money to people and asks them to forward the extra along. They write two checks.
