you could be involved in
a FRAUD or about to be
SCAMMED!
  • Is the CHECK from an item you sold on the Internet, such as a car, boat, jewelry, etc?

  • Is the CHECK connected to communicating with someone by email?
  • Is the CHECK drawn on a business or individual account that is different from the person buying your item or product?
  • Have you been informed that you were the winner of a LOTTERY, such as Canadian, Australian, El Gordo, etc., that you did not enter?
  • Have you been instructed to either WIRE, SEND, OR SHIP MONEY, as soon as possible, to a large U.S. city or to another country, such as Canada, England, or Nigeria?

Mathilde, a 419legal volunteer, gave excellent advice on how to spot a fake cashier's check in her Reply to a junior member. In the last Reply, patience 3987 says a United States Postal Service (USPS) money order can be checked out at postal counter.

Some good tips on checks.

Also, I would like to add that their could be fake cashier checks, money orders, travelers checks, and fake gift cards. Granted they will look real, even bank tellers can not tell they are fake. Even if you do call the bank to verify that the accounts are real that doesn't insure that the checks are legit. Crooks have been victimizing people for years.

If you suspect a check fraud please take it to the local police. If you do cash it you might get the money, but in a couple weeks you will be notified that it was fake and be liable for all the money.
