<prompt> Human: The situation seems super shady. He first applied for a job as a delivery driver, but the poster of the original job replied back saying that the original position had been filled, but that there is a new position available. The new job is basically for my roommate to drive this guys mother who is a nurse and apparently needs to go places to her various appointments. Two weeks ago, he expressed tentative interest in the job, but heard nothing from the guy. Now, hes received a check for almost 2k in the mail out of the blue, in addition to a very weird and unprofessional looking email that was sent to him this morning.Does this sound legit? Does it sound like a scam? I recall people being sent random checks in the mail, cashing them, and then being subject to some very inconvenient phishing schemes. On the other hand, this dude might legitimately be looking to hire a driver. Its just weird because he didnt even send a copy of his resume. My roommates name isnt even spelled correctly on the check. And there was minimal communication from this person. He tried calling him right now, but he didnt answer. I think hes going to call the bank that issued the check, which is the Suffolk County National Bank Which is a legit bank it seems like.Im personally leaning against cashing it, and just emailing the guy back saying that in the two weeks, hes found another position elsewhere.Thanks in advance for the responses!update: before i got a chance to show him the replies, he went to the bank and told his banker the situation, and they were going to look into the veracity of the check. He is now going to go there and tell them to not deposit it, and if they do deposit it, to undeposit it. If that makes any sense.  <response>: Its a scam. He shouldnt cash the check or communicate with this guy any further except to tell the guy to not contact him any more
