I'm with u ... a scam

No-one sends that amount of cash in the post.
... and a gold necklace ? ... come on, get real !

One (possible) way to check ...
If it's true (which I doubt), he either sent by a courier company (DHL etc)
or by registered post.
Both provide a tracking number.
Ask him to provide it ..... and try & enter it into the relevant site.
