I received an e-mail which I thought looked iffy and this is the reply I have received. Do you think, as I do, that this is a scam and a possible attempt at money laundering?
Hello,
Thanks for the response.I am ok with your charges and ready to pay ahead the wedding day,this is due to my tight financial arrangements at present.
It's really good to know that you are available and that you are free on that day because we started making the arrangements rather late! The wedding will hold in a friend's villa in West Lothian. The church ceremony,reception and after party will all hold in the villa.We both will go view the location when i arrive,that is if you wish. I believe you will make it a most memorable day for me, whenever i look at the album.
Now to payment arrangement.I will send you a cheque for payment.I hope you are ok wth this? The cheque is a pay cheque from the UN.I wok with the UN and was transfered most recently.The cheque will also exceed this amount i wish to pay you. You will cash the cheque,deduct your funds and have the balance handed over to my wedding planner.He is going to call you before my arrival to work out necessary arrangements .I hope my arrangement is ok with you? Please respond immediately with your name and address so we have the cheque sent to you immediately.
Kind Regards,
Andrew..
I am unsure what to do with this - advise the police and proceed with caution or just ignore it?
