I received e-mails from a potential client, who'd said he'd received my information from NATS, was moving near me, and wished to retain my services for his daughter. He gave me an actual street address (I verified on google), picked lesson days and times, and sent me a large check to secure the lesson slots for 3 months. I verified with my bank that it was fraudulent before attempting to deposit it.
