Yesterday in the mail, I receieved a letter stating that I had been "granted" $ 9,740.00 and a check for $ 4,870.00.in order to get the other half ($4,870.00) I was to cash or deposit the check, and send the sender a "commission" of $974.00.
Usually, I just throw away these types of things, but I decided to go to my bank, and see what they had to say. They said that on preliminary examination it seemed to be legit, but that if I deposited it, and then it was deemed "counterfit", I would be charged not only for the amount of the check, but also a $35.00 fee for submitting an invalid check. They said to report it to the USPS (which I have done!)
It would just be too expensive to follow it up, and PROVE that it was a scam!
Just be wary of Al Snyder, GrantBrokers.net, or a check drawn on Washington Mutual Bank in the name of Davis Software Concepts of California.
Scam! Scam! Scam!
