I just received a check(2800.00) from someone who wants to purchase some vacuum tubes from me worth 500.00. His position is that he is doing a service for a client, and wants the remaining money sent to him once the check arrives. I thought about this one long and hard. Perhaps I should have sent it back, but it intrigues me. Anyway, I'm suppose to wire the funds after the check comes. He will leave instructions on where the tubes are to be sent. In his own words, he keeps the exorbatant consultants fee(2300.00) for his services. The check is drawn on Walmart Financial Services(Minnesota).The letter came with a stamp from the Congo. Has anyone seen this scam before?Glenz
