Received the attached letter w/ a check advising to deposit and then purchase iTunes gift cards.

A request for a quote to complete a website design ended with a request to charge more than the deposit and pay a contractor who could not accept credit cards. Here is the final email:

"Thanks for your response an i understand you did you include it with the estimate, i am okay with the estimate and i wanna proceed so i will be depositing $2500 using credit card so work can commence ASAP.So you ready for my card # now ? or will you send me an invoice to make the payment ? what type of card merchant do you to process payment ? i understand the content for this site would be needed so as for the job to commence so regarding the content i will need a Little favor from you and the reason i need this favor from you is because the consultant does not have the facility to charge credit cards and i also am presently in the hospital for surgery so i will be glad if you can help me out with this favor,The favor i need from you is. i would give you my card info's to charge for $5600. so $2500 would be a deposit payment for my website design and the remaining $3000 you would help me send it to the project consultant that has the text content and the logo for my website so once he has the $3000 he would send the text content and logo needed for my website to you also the funds would be sent to him via cash deposit into his account, sending of funds would be after funds clears into your account and also $100 tip as form of Gratitude towards the Job."

I confirmed with the SBA that this in fact is a scam before posting it here.

The male started texting my phone number in response to an ad I placed on KSL.com in Salt Lake City, Utah. He finally sent a check on the New York City Department of Finance, 59 Maiden Lane - 20th Fl. , New York, New York 10038. ck # 50879 on a Wells Fargo Bank, n.a. with a date of 11/1/2016. The check was sent on Oct. 19, 2016 from Affordable Mini Storage, 6416 Quin Dr. Baton Rouge, La 70817. The check tracking was sent Priority Mail 3-day tm. USPS Tracking # 9405-5016-9932-0097-1208-75. Mailed in Baton Rough, Louisiana, 10817, to 70826, to SLC. 84199 to Rush Valley, Utah 84069. The male tests several times a day and wants to know what the status of the check is he knows it was delivered to 84069 on Oct. 22, 2016. We contacted the ScamPulse.com they advised to take it to the bank and try to cash it out. We didn't do that. Instead we called the New York City Department of Finance where the denied any involvement in this matter and suggested we turn it over to law enforcement in our state as they have crossed several state lines with their process. We have done nothing with the check currently , plan to turn it over to law enforcement or destroy it and consider it an organized scam. We wish to prevent others from this behavior. These people wanted us to cash the check and pay their currier 2500.00 to pick up the troughs and then we would be informed of when/where we would receive our monies for the troughs.
