yes, it is a fake check scam. "moving to your city"..... then they have to ask for your address??? what is wrong with that logic?

The only reason they want your personal information is to send you a check, then impersonate you by making other fake checks they send out have your physical address on them. That way they won't be caught, you will.

They will send you a fake check, ask you to deposit it then wire money back to them.

Then the check will be found to be fraudulent, and your bank will hold you responsible for the entire amount of the check, plus fees, and possibly criminal charges, too.

See this article for more information about these types of scams. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3237

The writing shows that Sohpia is a West African who has never been in the United States or Finland and doesn't know about names in English. It's a scam.
