Fortunately, I read a few reports about this scam before I did anything. It looks like a money-laundering operation. The company name, Infusion Software, appears to be a reputable company. The original check looks real and is drawn on a real bank named Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California 95054. The woman, Unice Megan, answered the phone saying "Corporate Financial." I would like to hear from anyone who actually deposited the check and was able to get the cash to send them via MoneyGram, less $200.00.
Also, what are the consequences from the bank if the check does not clear, other than the obvious chargeback. Is there usually a penalty fee for such a thing, even if you thought the check was good (and I believe the $3,885.52 check IS good)? What have others experienced? Kindly post here any other experiences you have had while going through this scam. Obviously, there is no check for $57,000.00 that will be sent, but doing the math reveals that you might come out ahead by at least $200 and possibly the whole $3,885.52 if you don't send any of the money back. Am I right? Thanks for anyones' help describing what they experienced.
