Victims of this scammer receive fake cheques and are asked to send money for the software licence from the fake funds.
Because the cheque is fraudulent, the bank will eventually claw back the money from the victim, close their account and inform the police. The victim will have a bad credit rating at the very least but is more likely to face the courts and possibly go to prison.
Other victims are recruited as money mules in order to launder these stolen funds and some will be employed to print and mail out these fake cheques. They too will face financial difficulty and imprisonment is almost guaranteed.
If you have received the email below, please do not reply to it. Simply ignore this thief.
