Pastor Jordan isn't one of the good Pastors- avoid.

When he offers to send you a cheque for more than the amount, say OK as long as he sends you cash

PS yes it's a con

In a twist to this, my mate got a similar thing from someone in Africa or such.

Answered very abruptly and said bankers draft only - to his horror they agreed and he got a genuine bankers draft through.

If he was a rasta and a master of the Pastors then he would be Master Rasta Pastor Jordan
Taking this into account it would appear to be a blag...But like zoton said - I'd just play with the fella and waste some of his time

I was selling my mates mobile on ebay for £125 and some African bloke said he would buy if off him for £450 as his daughter in Africa really liked this phone and she really wanted it!! All he needed was my mates bank details!! I THINK NOT. Why do they bother.
I emailed him to tell him where to send the cheque and guess what, he never replied!!

That 419 website has had me up half the night reading it. The guy is a class act. I've been ROFLMAO at some of the things he says in his letters
eg His secretary Miss Krispe Minge
The guy is class.
