Well, yesterday I received something in the mail. It contained a check for $2,500. I decided to call the bank of supposed origin to see if it would clear, and they told me that the note was fraudulent. Now here's the scheme. Basically, this place (and others like it) will send you a check for a considerable amount of money. They'll say you can keep a certain amount, but they want you to "test" Money Gram or a similar service and send the money to a given destination, likely one outside the nation in which you reside. Should you ever have ANY doubt, find the phone number online of the bank in question via a google search similar to this one. Should you attempt to cash such a check, you WILL be responsible for covering the bad check. And no, I did not attempt to cash the check. It went into the shredder.
