Can't figure how any one is gong to scam here when she doesn't have anything for sale. I told her to carry them to the bank to verify if they are real. Then contact the local police. Anyone heard of a scam like this, I can't figure out how it would work

Not sure about that one, but the bank will say they are good when she asks......somehow the badguys know how to make them look like they are good at first, it takes a few weeks for them to turn up no good.

Please tell her not to cash them......if anything, deposit them but dont spend the money for a couple months.

But best to throw them in the trash.
