CNF Research - are you in the middle of an overpayment, then? Oct 27, 2018

Hi, CNF Research. Sorry to hear that you got involved in this type of scam. Are you saying that you currently have money (or supposed money) deposited into your account that we'd expect will be somehow recalled, possibly by the bank itself?

I'm curious and I am wondering if you can do anything now with your bank to protect yourself. I hope so. Good luck to you.

Yes, the deposit which was initially credited was revoked today: The check was bad. Fortunately, I had smelled a rat and did not transfer any "overpaid" funds! I am in communication with my bank, and may contact the FBI.
