<p>Well, the scam is that they send you a bogus check then feverishly text you (they can't get on the phone because they're foreign and not "Scottish") and want you to send them the difference in the mistaken amount they sent so they can "book a band" who is feverishly waiting for the booking fee. It's quite clever and had me all excited. I didn't even put two and two together until the FedEx check from Carnegie Mellon Library. But they blew it by including a nasty sheet of paper inside with no headings saying to go to some random Hotmail email. </p>

<p>Hah, yes I just bumped into Cebliss and Brood, only this time it was in Aberdeen, CA and through WeddingWire. They even sent a check from Carnegie Library via FedEx (for way too much of course) and wanted me to send them $600 difference so they could "book the band". They then texted me continuously for the next few days while I wasted their time. I contacted the DA's office locally in Ventura.</p>
