We had a similar situation this last weekend.  It was a variation of the same scam only they sent my wife 2 money orders and wanted her to send the money through WalMart's MoneyGram because it was a "Secret Shopper" Job.  \n\nThe checks looked very legit but a quick look online showed that it was a scam.  They wanted her to cash the checks and send out a money order immediately.  The check would have cleared but in 3-4 weeks the bank would have come after us because it was a counterfeit money order.  \n\nI contacted the Attorney General's office and provided all the documentation I had including the original envelopes.  I hope they will do something but it will probably take more people actually losing money before they will act. \n\nTo verify that the checks are fake:\nIn most cases if you look the bank routing number on the money order in Yahoo or Google it will tell you there has been fraud associated with that bank's routing number.  In most cases the routing number will not match the bank it is drawn on.\nIf you photocopy a real check money order or cashier check I was told it will say "VOID" on the copy.  The checks we got did not display this on the copy.  \n\nThey called us back tonight and I told them I had spoken to the Attorney General's office and not to call us back.  They hung up on me.  Maybe that would work for you.  I would not rely on email.

I recieved the same letter, I checked it out at the bank first had them call Chase, the check is not valid. I also called the number on the letter two nights ago at 10:23pm and was surprised when the answer I got was "What the f*ck are you doing calling so late, don't you knwo what time it is" "click" It is a scam just frame the check in the "wish it was" frame and go back to our pathetic lives

You could call the bank it was issued from, give them the check number & account number, and ask them to "verify funds".

Delete all foreign lottery emails and throw away foreign lottery faxes and letters cause they are ALL scams.  +\n\n\nPlease be EXTREMELY WARY of offers by distant strangers to send you a high value (but counterfeit) cashier's check/USPS Money order, and then have you wire the balance to them.  Banks will cash these counterfeit checks/USPS Money orders, but then hold you responsible for the funds when the check fails to clear!

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!

If its automated, it depends on the system they have. Most often they look at the address, credit card number, expiration date -- if any of these three do not match your records the system will not accept the card. Check if you got the expiration and credit card number correctly.\n\nWith some shopping cart systems, they have some fraud protection measures and they raise a red flag if your telephone area code is not the same as the area code for your specified address. They also look at the IP address and match it with the address you gave. If they don't match, that's a red flag

The only way to be certain you do not have a counterfeit copy is if you have the shiny seal stickers affixed to your machine, 1 per computer.  If you have those certificate of authenticity seals, when you get the counterfeit warning you will want to follow the steps and contact microsoft so that they will enable you to get your updates. Even if you have legit numbers, someone could have borrowed/stolen your numbers to use on another pc, which would also get you that message.

I hate to say this but I don't know myself but whomever they are, I think they are trying to rob me. I didn't sign up for anything from that "company" and just recently I saw an attempt to withdraw $159 from my banking account. Since then I have been searching for the company and location and names but I haven't found anything yet. If I do I will be sure to pass it along to you and anyone else that has had problems with this "company."

Try this number 800-366-2425.  It's for "Declined Check Information for Check Writers" through TeleChek.  This is the computer system used by most places to scan checks when you pay.  The website is http://www.telecheck.com/wwwtelecheck/CDA/CDAtemplates/twsCDAGeneric/0,1922,10,00.html\n\nThere's a whole bunch of numbers on that page.  Good luck.

Look them up in the phone book.  That'll give you a pretty good idea of if they're legit or not.
