take it to a bank - they can authenticate it for you

It is probably a scam.  DON'T give out any bank information.  DON'T pay anyone anything to get a "prize".  You can contact the people who notified you to investigate further, but BE VERY CAREFUL.  People use things like this to cheat people out of their hard-earned money.

I think you have a legitimate complaint. How did they get you banking information to begin with?  I think if you authorize them to take money out of your account they should have your voice recorded giving them permission to take out the $600.00, on whatever date it is they took it out on. Get your information from the bank and call them back and turn the tables on them and ask them who gave them authorization to take the money out on this date, and that you want proof of it. You will be coming in for the proof and taking it to your attorney to review. If you are able to pick it up don't tell them you are going to your attorney until they hand over the proof. Also, ask them to highlight where you gave them permission to take this  extra $600.00. If you ask for the proof and they can't come up with it they will have to put it back in your account immediately. Make sure you tell them so. If they won't put the money back into your account and they give you a paper that is showing proof that you didn't authorize you will have to get an attorney. I hope not but they can't get away with doing things like this. Also, threaten to call the local newspaper and tell them what they did. See how they like that. You could also call the police and ask them if you have any recourse with this company. Usually going on the news scares the daylights out of them because it hurts their business.

I got one of those last month - from someplace in Canada, although the bank in question was in Idaho or North Dakota or someplace like that. It is a "snail mail" version of those emails that go around trying to convince you that you've won the Irish Lottery or something. I did some research online and this is a fraud. And since it was sent through the mail, it is actually mail fraud. The website I read said that I should take the letter to  my postmaster and report it - but I've been too lazy to do that. The post office is closed by the time I get home, and only open till noon on Saturdays. I feel bad though for those, especially the elderly, who buy into this. The letter I received actually said I was to send the entire $4grand or whatever it was back to them to pay for "administrative costs". Yea, right. And in the meantime, they get my banking information from the check I send them and they can steal my identity!

look on the bill. it should have a phone # to track it. but yeah i would cancel the money order epsecially if it was made out for a lotta money and if you gave it to someone you dont trust.  but for organizations and stores and stuff, they're pretty honest ppl.

You would have to take it to a coin dealer to find out. They can grade its condition and look it up. Chances are, it isn't worth more than 25 cents, but it is worth at least a penny!

It's a scam.\n\nThe $4,600 check is going to be returned.  You never should have deposited it because it is counterfeit and the police might think you are part of the whole scheme.  \n\nObviously, don't send them a penny and don't respond to any more of their e-mails.

Call your bank.  They can look it up and tell you exactly what it is.  Then if it's not approved by you, tell them and make them send the charge back.

It sounds similar to when we used to pick up pennies on the street.....now you can have ten lying around and we pass them by.\nI just scratched a ticket too and won a free draw worth $10.  \nI plan to get that new ticket just as soon as I remember to tuck it into my purse.....lol

Sounds fishy. you might want to contact someone locally over this. Any service in your area concerning fraud

I had the same problem not too long ago.  I signed the the card\n"with love, bob".  It doesn't say I love you, but it is better than sincerely.  Good luck!

I got some counterfeit money as change when I was in France. I didn't know the difference between a counterfeit 10 franc piece (coin) and a genuine 10 franc piece. I tried to spend it in a shop and the clerk wouldn't take it and said it was fake. I basically said WTF, I got it as change somewhere.  But they still wouldn't take it. I showed it to a local and they pointed out the little imperfections in it.  But it DID look and feel pretty similar, almost exact even to a genuine 10 franc piece, it wasn't an obvious fake like photocopies of dollar bills are.  And 10 francs was about $2 so who expects THAT to be fake??

It's probably a postal mail scam and/or a poorly executed marketing campaign.\n\nIf it has an address or telephone number, you could probably type it into a Google search box and see what comes up.\n\nYou can also search the Better Business Bureau website for consumer complaints against the company, if someone has reported it.

It sounds as if it's a very bad computer glitch, and that the decimal point has been moved. If you're not getting any government help, you really need to take it to the water company's head honcho. It is illegal to remove anyone from their home for not paying this charge, when you have evidence in the form of bills to prove the exorbitant charge! The neighbourhood needs to get together on this and make a stand. Good luck!

TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!\n\nI work at a bank and see this all the time.  Check out the websites the other person listed.  The Dept of Labor does not give out money, and even if they did, they would not ask for any money from you up front!

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

Wow, I was expecting something more common when I opened this.  But what you are describing may be exceptionally rare.  What shape is the card in?  Are you sure that the card and the signature are authentic?\nBe wary of just going down to your local baseball card shop and trying to get a price for it, they might try to rip you off.  What you have could be worth a significant amount of money, and my guess is that it is probably rare enough, that the best way to establish a value would be via a well publicised auction.
