So, what did I do about my son's note? I replied as if from me, just to garner more details. As of the moment, I've not heard back. Then I sent a note to James Perry at Fraud.org with a copy of the above email. James' repliy was prompt and precise........................

It's what's known as a "Fake Check Scam" and a "Reshipping Scam". Just Google the scam's name and more info from the post office will com up. ...............You know, I believe were all equipped with that extra sense that warns us when something smells fishy. We can either ignore the warning or do like your son, be cautious and investigate.

note to Mr. Perry...thank you for your help with this!
