An email is circulating to musicians in Western Canada requesting a solo musician to play at a small wedding. It is an “advance payment fraud†scam. The goal of which is to get a check overpayment into the musician’s hand. All they want is the money you “refund†them for the overpayment.
This is the message:

It works like this,
He will tell you that his friend will send you a check for say, $150. The check will arrive but it will be for a larger amount, say $750. Then, to save everybody trouble, he’ll ask you to deposit the cheque anyway and just refund the difference by Western Union. The check then bounces, and he keeps your “refundâ€.
