The cheque was a British bank, with a British address, totally legit cheque.

This is how i believe the fraud happens:

1. Person in Nigeria who makes the offer
2. Another person in uk who makes the cheque out
3. Then the account holder with the international code 234. (this could also be person 1) Either way I believe they know what is going on.

By definition the cheque was authorised and I could have attempted to cash it.

I considered it too risky to stay involved hence i went to the Police
