<prompt> Human: My friend is currently selling a dress on DePop for 165. She received a message from a profile that claimed she was the buyers sister and she was asking for her sister, so she can email her instead. Theyve emailed back and forth with the address of where the package is going to be received and sent from. The buyer claimed that the dress if going to be picked up from a local who had more stuff in my area to pick up for her. She agreed to this way of transfer for the dress. She had a PayPal account so she just thought she was going to paid throughout that. Instead, the check was delivered to her through mail and the check was 1650 dollars. My friend was really surprised by this because she thought that the buyer was only sending her the money for dress. The buyer claims the overpayment is because my friend had to give the rest to the mover for her. My friend didnt expect the payment to be so ridiculously over paid. She was told to deposit it and send the rest through cash deposit to the mover. My friend is really stressed out because she cant tell if these people are safe or whether shes involved in something illegal. Is this normal?Sorry about posting this here, I just couldnt think of another sub that would be more fitting.  <response>: This is an incredibly common scam. That 1650 check is going to bounce and any money your friend gives away will not be compensated.
