Last week I got a big fat check, you may be wondering how much. It is close to 5000 dollars and enough for one semester tuition fee. I am surprised to get fat check for nothing and should I cash it or not. Yes it is an overnight Fedex services was used and it was sent from Huston, TX. Payee name and address is mine. Sender is from Michigan.
Check from Frederick, MD.
One more thing to add:
Do you get spam mail from your own account?

Lol.
Do you really believe God is watching you from heaven? If not, DO NOT cash it.
Advanced Fee Fraud Advanced Fee Fraud is a new step on an old con. It involves you receiving a notice, either by mail or Internet email, that boldly states that you have won some sort of prize, or that your email address has been selected at random to be the recipient of a large sum of money. Some will even make claims that they are the long lost relative of some dictator or some such prominent figure and ask you to help them get the money, while promising you a very large sum for the help. Many will even include a counterfeit check or money order to further entice you to become a victim. While the stories vary, the means to the scam is always the same. You will receive some sort of documentation, usually in the mail or even by overnight shipping service, that supposedly helps make the offer appear legitimate.

That is obviously a counterfeit check,
Nothing comes for free. You can not win a lottery when you haven't bought the ticket.

The date on that check is 12/11/06 and as far as I know all checks are invalid after 6 months !!! Hence, it is a scam.

Dear Bhojpure1, Just sit and think for a second. If you haven't filled out a lottery ticket form or that check is not coming from your work place then why would someone send you a check of that amount for free. Obviously it is a scam and i strongly advise to not to fall for it. I got that kind of check a long time ago, i trashed it. Thanks

Sparrow pirate bahnya ta Sherlock Holmes ko nati po rahechha. Too bad he didn't realize the check posted in one of the thread above is not the check in discussion here. Bhojpure, u might get a mail to deposit the check and return half of the money...a typical check fraud case. If it is too good to be true....

Unless your bank charges penalty, I don't see any downside to depositing the check... Do not send anyone anything and don't spend the money. Wait for a few months before you do anything...

Identity theft.
1) Once you try to cash check, you can not get cash right away, it needs to be collected. 2) Your account number must be there. 3) You valid drivers license should be presented and you will be providing your date of birth and as well Driver's license number.
What else they need from you, it may be enough for them to get SS number?. Rest of the life you will be chasing them.

That is a void check. It has "VOID" printed right next to the Memo field. (unless you printed that on the scanned image).

It’s elementary my dear Watson. So, we have Sherlock Holmes no# 2. Good eyes to point out VOID on the scanned check. However, I bet you the same amount that the letter VOID won’t show up in the original check. You see, when some checks are photocopied, the letter VOID comes out in the copied version to stop counterfieted copies of the check. So, my friend, VOID on the scanned copy doesn’t necessarily mean that the check is a scam..doesn’t mean that I am saying this whole thing is legit; I am just refuting the argument. Don’t believe me?
