Hope they get caught

Guest Welcome to the forums. I am so sorry about your misfortune. Can I ask what company you are dealing with? Please stick around and join our forum and keep us posted. Best Wishes

Wow,
This is like the third story I have heard about this kind of scam. It almost happened to me--but what I would have had to do was to wire money to an address in Ontario, after cashing a bogus check for two grand! I actually called the bank the check was drawn on in Florida and was told that they don't do cashier's checks anymore and the FBI had been alerted to this scheme. It makes me believe that if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

This is terrifying...So many people are getting scammed this way, it seems to get worse around the holidays. I guess we all just have to remember..No legit company is going to ask for money up front.

That's terrible! I really hope they get caught.

My credit union has a warning sign up at all their branches warning of this scam they say to contact the FBI if you are a victim of this scam or you are offerred this scam. It is sad, I feel bad for those who are victimized by this, especially around the Holidays, as if life isn't tough enough, you get hit with this at the wrong time. (Although I know any time is the wrong time)

I am glad that you told me about this because I didn't see any indication of this in bank nor my credit union. Thank you.

What company is it? This seems to be happening more and more. Also file a complaint with your state's attorney general's office as well as the FBI and your local authorities. I hope they get caught because I don't know how these people can sleep at night.

There are so many scams out there, we all need to be careful. I was sent a check in the mail from a company in Canada for about $10,000. I thought the check to my bank to see if it was valid. They told me that the company was counting on me to deposit the check and when it bounced I would be left holding the bag. I gave them the check and the instruction letter so that there fraud department could investigate further

BDouble-
What was the name of the company? I just wonder if it was the same one that sent me the check.

I just hope that they get them before they rip off more ppl..Sorry to hear about this..

The check look like it was an official Check from Chase Bank in New York. That is the only thing I can remember about the check. I don't have the check any more. I wish I had more information for you.

Mine was from Prosperity Bank in Fla--a bank that doesn't even do cashier's checks anymore!

I think that before anyone takes out a loan with any company, they should check em out..

Hi bdouble, that was the right and exact thing to do with an unsolicited check.

If anyone receives an unsolcited /fake check here is what to do
Don????????t deposit it ???????? report it! Report it to the websitewww.fraud.org
