We started a new company and we keep getting these requests for work, painting or assembly, and they offer 50% deposit on the work. Generally when I push them for contact information and things like that, they go silent. But what's the scam?

I have one now who wants to send me a certified check to do the work. If they send a check, and it is certified, and I take it to the bank and verify it, what's the scam? It seems very odd and doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

Anyone have experience with this? Any advice would be appreciated.
