anyone ever get a random check in the mail from fed ex?

[abwil2]

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.

I think these things are legit.. I mean, I have won $47 million from Nigeria so far.. It has to be legit right?

yeah apparently last week I won the "Euro-Millions".... go figure.

So what's the latest on this, did you find out anything if looked at? not really my bus but just asking.

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...

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.
