<p>Hi there I saw an ad for a bitcoin runner.  The person is saying to buy bitcoin with the funds he sent me. I just received an obviously official cashiers check in the mail for $2,900.  Now he wants me to deposit it so that I can access my pay plus use the rest to buy bitcoin.  I have not deposited it yet.  Anyone heard of this? Is this a scam?</p>

This looks like a fake check scam.

This is 99.9999% likely to be a scam.
