Then well proceed on the pick up. Get back to me pls. Thank you. MeXXX Im not comfortable handling that amount of money. Can you cut a new check for the correct amount?  <response>: So, yes, its a scam...You can do many things including just no longer responding to the scammer.My favorite and likely the most effective is to continue to engage the scammer as long as possible without actually giving them anything they want. These scams function on being able to target large numbers of people, hoping someone will actually cash one of these fake cashiers checks and refund the balance, only to later learn that they the victim are responsible when the check turns up bad.However, it costs the scammer time and money to make fake checks, send them, and communicate with you. The more time they spend engaged with you getting no ROI the less profitable their operation. Best way to combat these bastards IMO...Good luck and no matter what DONT GIVE THIS GUY MONEY!!!Edit: iPhone typos
