I received a text from a Sherry Harris. She asked me for my email address which I provided. She was wanting Mark Kay products. I received a few emails and looking back, I can't believe I fell for it. Sherry said she was a deaf woman. And her emails were poorly written. Sherry asked for my mailing address and cell number. Sherry wanted to send me a certified check from her BOSS. The check came to me via UPS in the amount of nearly $2000. After talking it through with my husband, I now realize I have been scam. I am going to the police to report the incident. I was provided with a mailing address and the phone number. I do feel stupid but glad I didn't do anymore. email address is sherryharris46@yahoo.com.

Amy, you might want to report this  to yahoo since the person in question used a Yahoo email address .

*Edited to remove irrelevant info due to my misreading message*

Unfortunately, this scam is very common to Mary Kay, Scentsy, and others.

Were you able to take it to the police...what did you find out?

Thank you for putting this information out here. I also received a request just today for Mary Kay product TimeWiser Repair Set $199 from this email. sherryharris45@yahoo.com
Same story, deaf woman, who had no credit card, wanting to send me a Certified Check.
Thank God I remembered this sort of thing happening to people a few years ago, so I did a search and found your experience.  
I will report it to yahoo even though it was only the email in my case.
Sad that this has to happen.  Mary Kay reps are kind hearted women just tryijng to make a living.
