It sounds like you have received an email saying that you are inheriting a huge amount of money. If so, it is almost certainly a scam designed to obtain your personal information and steal your identity.\n\nThere are loads of these scams floating around. I get loads of them myself. Ignore them. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true, and it may be dangerous.

was curious and at first thought it was legit. I filled out the Contractor agreement and faxed to the toll free number. After I did that i started to think about it more and it seemed very suspicious. This job seemed too easy to get. Soon I got an e-mail from Michael Peterson stating that i will recieve my first donation in the mail. I then recieved a $4,500 cashier's check in the mail drawn off of "First Bank" Austin, Texas. The check was delivered to my door via Express mail through the local post office. The address showing were it came from showed a P.O Box in Denver Colorado. Okay! The website states that they are located in the Netherlands. Where does Colorado fit in? Also why is this check from a bank in Austin, Texas.This is just too fishy. it doesn't make sense to me. I am afraid to get involed at this point. There isn't even a phone# to call or a physical address. What makes it worse is how do you just send me a check in my name and ask me to deposit it into my personal bank account then contact you when the funds are avaliable so you can give me instructions on who to send the funds to? You don't know anything about me. No one even attempted to do any kind of interview to find out either. And why don't you send the funds directly to the families you are donating to? Why waste time an dmoney mailing checks all over from city to city then paying to Western Union the funds? Where do donations processors fit in? This is all too weird. I tried locating First Bank and there were no matches in Austin.\n\nI am going to return the check to where it was sent from and also file an investigative report through the Better Business Bureau on legitimate charities. \n\nI also found a web address that uses similiar information found on cameliahome.org called elynahome.com

I am impressed that you simply asked for the money, but I don't think you will be too lucky securing it in this arena.\n\nIf you would like to earn it, check out the website www.entrustamerica.com/wisdom they may be able to help you earn the money with a little effort

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!

I think I understand. You got an e-mail from this Doris Smith saying that if you let them use your bank account she would transfer millions of dollars in it. Right?\n\nIf so, this is a scam. If you give them your account number, the best you can hope for is the loss of all money in the account. The worst is complete identity theft.

It depends on the type of inheritance you are receiving personal, corporate, trust, etc.\nYou also didn't state where your bank account is (U.S or Canada).\nTalk to an expert in inheritance laws, before you do anything you may regret later.\nGood luck to you!!

I didn't get anything from that site in particular, but your state should have an "Unclaimed Property" division in the Treasury department.\n\nI found some money in there this year.  Not a bad gig, and it is your money after all.

YES, i am also earning but i dont know wether they send the money or not. Google is a reputed company. I believe they will send the money.

Depends on the country it's from and on whether it's good -- may never clear if it's fraudulent!  \n\nThere are US laws limiting how long a US bank can take to make funds available from a deposit drawn on another US bank, but I'm not aware of anything like that for foreign deposits.  Suggestion:  Call your bank and ask!

well, thats a good question. I would advise you to report it to your bank, and put a hold on your account.  Im sure they can get to the bottom of it. Hope this helps!

The UK banks are now on watch for this sort of Transaction, and will report it as suspicious if not in keeping with your normal activity.\n\nMoney laundering / Drug based activites and counter terrorism are all issues for the banking sector. You would be suprised how wide ranging the effects of recent legislation here.\n\nForgive me for saying this though. You sound out of you depth if you are asking. BE CAREFUL!

Let me guess... You got an e-mail from some dude in Nigeria who wants you to be his company's agent in the USA, and people will send you lots of checks to cash and you return the money to him...\n\nSCAM ALERT!!!!!!!\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true... IT IS!!!

It is spam. They are attempting to get your bank details and steal your money.\n\nI currently have loads of relatives in Nigeria that have recently died and want to give me $30 million.\n\nI wish......

No,  when you receive an email like that, it is a scam.  You can be assured of that.  Never give money or your bank account information to anyone who contacts you over email.\n\nPlease see the website below for further information.

Basically it boils down to the fact that HE signed YOUR name. That constitutes fraud. Not whether it is a joint account or blah blah blah. That indeed is forgery. Now the fact that he just did a deposit shows that he was not being malicious. Is the money still there? No harm done. If it is gone, then hit him with the forgery charge.

If the cashier's check was made to you why would you be charged with obtaining funds under false pretenses?\n\nYou had a good, sold it for a price.  The new owner received his pup i assume.  The person who fed-exed you the check will likely be charged as well.  There ARE records of this you know....
