Its simular to your long lost cousin the 'prince' needing to send you cash so he can make sure all his money isn't taken by banker criminals in his country.....
When you cash the check..he then sues for 'his money' to be returned....bank statement shows you cashed it....you will owe him......
I've received fraudulent like that for deposits on properties that the person didnt own.......checks like that can be taken to the bank and numbers ran to see if it's real or not....but even if the account is real it is most likely a 'shell acct'....and closed fast
