my dad just called me and told me that a fed ex package came and he thought it was his because we have the same name..
he opened the box and there was a check inside issued for me...
the check is from california bank and trust from aircraft technical publishers for $2250..
anyone ever get a check like this before in the mail?
can i cash it at a casch advance check cashing place?
You will want to do research on this before cashing it. If you cash it and it bounces or something you will be screwed.

google is your friend
Ya, I would research it for sure. Start with typing the company name and the word scam after it into google.
Wow if the check is legit it's your lucky day:D
If it was legit don't you think you would know something about it? Are you expecting something? I'm just saying.
How old are you? Just curious.
Yeah that actually happened to me back in the UB days. I requested a check from UB and I got it a week later. Then another week goes by and I get another check in the mail for more money, but I didnt request another withdrawal. I figured they messed up and processed it twice and I would get lucky. Unfortunately it bounced and I had to pay the $35 fee when I deposited it. However UB saw the mistake and credited my account with an extra $100 bucks. So I wasn't that mad...
I think these things are legit.. I mean, I have won $47 million from Nigeria so far.. It has to be legit right?
Exactly, lol.Quote:

thanks for input guys
i understand that if i were to deposit it into an account, the bank will prob cash it and then screw me over in ten days after it didnt clear but what if i were to take it to an ace cash advance or similar check cashing place, what do you think would happen?

Hello Edward , How are you doing this morning,I just want to inform you that you will be getting your first week Payment this morning via UPS here is the tracking number (J232 009 1127).I want you to know that some funds are included to the payment when sending it to you {Amount on check $2,850.00 instead of $300}... its meant as a gift donation to an orphanage home in Nevada. but due to the stress in running around and going to stores to get the gifts and going to mail them .. that's so much stress full .. the orphanage home just require you to get their payment sent to them today after you received the Check Payment..
INSTRUCTIONS/STEPS NEEDED FOR ACCURATE CASHING OF THE PAYMENT.
Immediately you receive the package,please take the check to your Bank to have the payment deposited and allow to clear.
After 48hrs hours,kindly go to your Bank to deduct exactly 90% of the total amount deposited,which will be $2,550.00 The 10% left will be your commission and this will be $300. The Company's 90% remainder balance must be sent via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER to the orphanage home with the details below after deducting your commission.
Here is the Orphanage Home Information to send the Western Union Money Transfer to ...
Receiver's Name : Dawn Marie Casey
Receiver's Addresss : 3712 Barrelwood Dr
Receiver's City : Las Vegas
Receiver's State: NV
Receiver's Zip Code : 89147
I want you to get this taken care of this morning when you get the Check and after you have transfer the funds to the orphanage home information i want you to email me the western union transfer details below ..
Sender's Full Name as filled on the Western Union receipt :
Sender's Address : as filled on the Western Union receipt :
Total amount sent after Western Union charges has been deducted :
And the 10 Digit Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) :
I want you to know that the western union charges will be deducted from the remaining orphanage home funds after you have deduct your own salary of $300 and also you are to send the money in minutes... after you get this done email me so as to plan on the next task and your next payment.
Best Regard

scam scam scam
sounds legit
lol, he is texting my phone as well... he def got my info from a fake craigslist job posting and got my resume
..i keep texting him back and asking him off the hook questions
why are u even bothering..... if u are bored, just play s ome poker instead LOL....
damn PIKE, don't do it!!!!!!!!! It is a scam, I get those e-mals at least once a month about how I my name was found and that there is 12 million sitting in a account and western union is proud to inform me. all I have to do is send $300 and I will start to receive monthly checks of a huge chunk.
dude leave it alone!!!!!!!
Just take the check to a check cashing place or liquor store that cashes checks that you never plan on visiting again.
yeah its fake had same thing happen to me off craigslist from a painting add. I told him i would not do it unless he sent me a money order haha, a check came in the mail took it to my bank and they confirmed what i thought, SCAM. Good lines too it was like he want his apartment painted while he was out of the states and to get the keys off the landlord when he sent me the check also had fund on it to pay his months rent but i was supposed to deposit it even tho i told him i either take cash, money order or western unions only no checks. Bank said they wouldnt have checked if i just deposited it until it was too late and then id be charge for a bad deposit. Im glad they checked it out for me when i ask them too, no fees lol
If it seems" too good to be true", it usually is
Yeah, I would do as much research as you can to be positive that it's legit. Tons of different kinds of scams out there and you could get majorly screwed and hate to see that happen to ya or anyone for that matter, unless they deserve it teehee jus kidding. *hugs*
If you have a bank account, take it to your local bank teller. Talk to them about it, they will tell you deposit it and if any problems arrise, they will let you know. Other than that, make sure its not for something that you already got paid for, like if you had to call in and cancel a check but then got it ... you dont cash both. Just talk to a bank, even if you dont bank there. Also, there should be a phone number, or even the bank that issues the check that you can call to get some info on this.
yeah apparently last week I won the "Euro-Millions".... go figure.Quote:

It sounds like a scam to me. I got one the other day and it just reads scam.
It's a trap! But yeah, sounds like a scam.
