My Wife received a lucrative check in the mail from Nielson Research Group. It looked completely legitimate w the naked eye. I even observed watermarkings, routing number, Company name, (which included a Texas credit Union), etc..
The scam intended to have the checkholder deposit the check into a personal account, simultaneously withdraw the majority of the funds and send the funds Western Union to the scammers hidden account. Upon further research. I discovered the check was indeed fraudulent and personally called all my local banks and directly spoke with the Bank Managers. I informed them of the scam and told them to take head to the scammers company. I thought it was worth a shot to have the check examined by the Highway Patrol Headquarters Laboratory located in Jefferson City, Mo.in hopes of them lifting a fingerprint from the cellophane window on the front of the envelope where the receiving address is displayed. I also called the scammers contact number and informed them I had obtained a fingerprint off one their envelopes as a deterrent for them to slow the scam or close the operation.
