I got that e-mail too. Didn't know it was a scam, but thought it was weird... Told them that their questions are all answered on my website and told them to call me if they had any other questions. Never heard from them again.

Nigerian scam.
When you deposit the cheque. it will return to them and they will have all your banking info on it. They will then forge cheques in your company name and purchase goods and one day you'll find your account empty or find that you will have a ghost account attached to yours, which you won't find out about until creditors start to hound you.. A bunch of them got busted in Toronto recently, they had sophisticated forging machines and cheques in hundreds of different company names.
So be careful out there guys.

Won't they be surprised, I beat them to the punch

After I sent this clown an email back saying that I could only take a credit card and not a check, I never heard from him again.
