A couple of similar emails have been reported on rec.arts.dance, one very recently:
From rec.arts.dance
I remember seeing a post by Gary Jobst (can't remember how long ago)
about a scam someone was trying to run. Went something like this "Guy
calls on the phone, wants to set up a series of dance lessons for
son/daughter/relative and pay large sum in advance. Sez, I'll over pay
you and you just give me the difference after the lessons are over.
The reality is the check sent is most likely a fake and it's all a way
to launder money or a scam."
This scam is still going on and targeting dance teachers and others in
related fields.
