Anyway, this is a huge scam right now, called a "Nigerian Scam."
The party that contacted you is using you in order to gain access. The party either fishes your account info out of you and then sends you a fake money order or they'll send you one real money order for a small amount and several other fake money orders for larger amounts. The good money order will hopefully be routed to a certain destination with the possibility that your bank encoded your account info on the check (highly rare).
It's bad news....

no, I really knew that this was a scam, I was just wondering what else to look for in case something else wasn't so obvious. I guess it's just hard to beleive someone would be so blatent about it. I mean seriously...this was the email...
