Contact your local law enforcement agency.
This is a well documented money laundering scheme and is illegal.

I got into a similiar situation.
I was sent Federal Express Cheques. I cashed a few and then found out they were fraudulent. I had to pay it all back. The money I was supposed to send back was for some paintigns that had supposedly been purchased. There is a good yhat the money sent back ids going to the rebels to fight agaisnt our own men. Be very very careful. If you depsosit it in your bank and do not touch it until they have cleared it, usually ten days and it clears You may be oaky. Chances are it will not clear and come back as a fraud. If so you owe the bank nothing. If this is a fraud you need to report it to ic3.gov it is an internet reporting agency that is trying to keep on top of these things. I hope I have helped .

This sounds really shaky - probably a scam. At a guess, the check is fake, but that won't be discovered until you've already sent money off to someone, and you won't see your money again. Stay clear of this.

you should have looked more into this before you got involved...i would call customer service or something and talk to an actual person, and if that don't work i would stop doing what you are doing immediately!
