waited couple weeks , he said he sent it ..

Then he asked me for my bank info to just direct deposit, told him .. no just register letter I'll take that off .. he wanted to do it his way , I never heard from him again ..

Not sure if that was some scam or what, it just felt odd
Sounds like a round about way to scam someone but you never know. These people seem to be getting more clever
