Received a fake check, what should I do with it Reddit?
So Reddit, I just received a check from some as-of-yet-to-be-named benefactor in the amount of $2,300 in the mail today! My first ever an advance fee fraud attempt! Thanks Craigslist!
Can reddit help me show some creative love to my dear anonymous scammer friend has yet to send me the 7 pentium IV laptops I am supposed to "repair" in exchange for this lovely check with signed in printer ink by his "secretary"?
Should I ask for another and send him back one of his own asking him to just send me for overage? After all, he was nice enough to send me a real stamp.

Edit: Btw, there is no watermark. Except a very faint tiled one on the back that says Defensa or something. Any other tricks that fake checks are supposed to fail?
