James,
It's a scam. I had someone contact me with a very similar story. The check's no good. But if you pay the shipper, you're out that plus the goods.
Like my daddy always said: "If it sounds too good to be true.............."

Subject: [artshow_photo] I think this is a scam.
I got an email from a someone claiming to be a woman who
wished to buy three of my images - $950 worth, However,
she and her husband are moving from Seattle to London
England and want the shipping company to get the images
in the shipment of household goods.
So I say OK. Today a check for $3500 arrives via
Fed Ex. And her email - "oops" her husband got confused
and added the shipping company's payment to mine and sent
it to me by mistake. Could I deposit the check in my bank account
and give the extra to the shipper for her ?
How many of you think
1. This check is any good
2. The shipper will demand cash
3. No one cares about the images.
Additional info. Fed Ex overnight letter sent from
New Jersey by someone who's name has never
appeared in the conversation so far.
The check is supposedly written on an account
belonging to a company in Houston Tx. and drawn
on a bank in Minnesota.
I think I'll frame this check and put it on the wall.
