<prompt> Human: Im not entirely sure if this is the correct sun for this but Im a photographer and with that comes constant scrolling through craigslist gigs. I came across this car ad gig which Ive heard of before and was interested. I live is southern California and the poster has a North Carolina area code which I thought was a little weird. He is also offering an outrageous amount to advertise on an 04 Nissan Altima? He said he was still down though and then he said he mailed out a check to me for 2,950 and I am to cash it and take out my first weeks payment of 450 and use the rest to pay a local car wrap company to apply his wrap. Is this a scam? Is my main concern I dont see exactly how it could be if he does send the check of course before pulling money out Ill wait for it to clear any advice? Also if his check is somehow fraudulent or whatever, yet it does go through, am I at fault? Especially because Im being paid for a service so will the money possibly be taken away?  <response>: Just this week, a Florence man became the latest to fall victim to the scam. But luckily, his bank stopped him before it was too late.The man told police he responded to an ad on Craigslist asking for people willing to place a vehicle wrap on their cars to advertise a certain product. In exchange for advertising through the wrap, the company offered 400 a week in compensation, according to an incident report.The man told police a check arrived at his home a few days later, but a wrap did not arrive. The check was for 2,950. He contacted the company via email and the representative told him to cash the check, take his 400 in pay, then send the rest back to them. But when he went to the bank to do so, a bank employee informed him the check was a forgery.
