I agree with not-Michael with 2 exceptions:
1. Bank tellers may *not* recognize a fake because the fake checks are getting so good nowadays, and
2. don't destroy it but send it on to the postal inspectors because they need a steady stream of fake checks to keep an eye on their increasing sophistication.
You can contact postal inspectors here https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx

The teller at Bank of America will probably recognize that the check is a fraud and refuse to cash it.  

The check will bounce no matter where or how you cash it.  Then the bank will hit you with bad check fees and probably fraud charges.  The only sane thing to do with that check is tear it up and throw it in the recycle bin.

I got the letter too.  Check for $3985.50.  I wish I could just CASH it?  Maybe I should try to cash it at an actual bank of america instead of my bank. ?

A letter from a Mr. Davis Michel , President , yulassociate@gmail.com , claims that I have won a contest from T.J.X. Companies in the amount of US$110,000.00 .  It includes a check for $3985.50 to cover expenses relating to US Government Bond Fees in the amount of $2,900.00. It asks that I call the above number ( 425-440-8914 ) at extension 204 to talk to a Barbara Brown to discuss the terms of my winnings and to assign a Government Bond Agent to process my winnings and collect fees.

The check claims to be from the T.J.X. Companies located 2285 Glene Str ,  Framingham , MA 01701 and is drawn on the Bank of New York Mellon in Everett , MA 02149 .  The letter is on poorly printed letterhead from the Lana Corporation Inc.  c/o  T.J.X. Companies Inc. 705 Yonge St. Essex , MD  21210 and was postmarked in Canada with a return address of P. O. Box 16550 Richmond Hill, ON L4C 4Z3 ,   LANA Corporation refers to itself as handing "Brokerage Services, Loans, Mortgage Bailout and Refinancing".  No further usable information is available about LANA Corporation.

The letter also refers to a number of other retail companies within the US, many of whom are competitors ( J.C. Penny, Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Kohl's, Kmart, Macy's Circuit City, Best Buy etc) and are not really associated within the T.J.X. Companies holdings.

Further investigation also ties information within this letter to the phone number 16478300383 which is attached to adverts in Munich, Germany for customer service reps, and complaints about a check scam regarding a trips that have been won.  (647)830-0383 is a cell phone registered to the Toronto, Ontario area.  (425)440-8914 appears to be a number based in Bellevue, WA in the US.  It is a land line maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. - Wa with an equipment code of BLLVWASHDS0 .   Similar complaints have been filed against numbers maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. in other locations across the US.

For some reason, both the check, and the letter, have the wrong US Zipcode for my home address.  It also seems that from the information in the address that whatever information was given to this company was originally obtained from Best Buy corporation.  It appears that Best Buy has sold my contact information to someone else.

Using the US mail to scam is a crime.  If you are in the US you can put the letter and check back in the envelope, tape the envelope shut, cross out your address, and write "Forward to Postal Inspectors" on the envelope.  That brings the scam to the attention of the US Postmaster's office.

If you are in Canada check the Canadian post office site to see if they have something similar.

I also received a check in an envelope postmarked Ontario, Canada. But the offices showing Lana Corp.  for 5675 Ralston St., Concod,Nc. Just for giggles I called this illusive barbara brown and she was one rude bi$&h. Said once I cashed the check or deposited it to call her back for the IRS info to pay the taxes on my 10,000 winnings that would be sent afterwards.

BEWARE BEWARE this is a scam.

I also called the bank to verify fund and the account listed on the check is bogus but the check appears on the surface to be a valid check with at least 8 security features.

I recieved a letter postmarked from Markham, Ontario, with a check enclosed for $3985.50 written by F.Boy Ag Systems in Myerstown, PA 17067.  Written on the Fulton Bank.  Of course I also was asked to pay a bond fee to government before collecting my winnings.  I don't know who to report this to.  Can anyone help?

How sad that there are people out there trying to scam good people.

My husband received the same check/letter today.  Thought it was strange that I got a call from the people that live at his old address about some mail he had gotten there.  He hasn't had that address for 19 years but it's a small town so she called me.  I will definitely be headed to the Sheriffs office tomorrow to report it, this is one I had not heard of yet.  Shame on these people, preying on the innocenct, especially in these tough economic times, so close to the holiday when we could all really use some extra cash.

You shouldn't try to cash the check because it will bounce and your bank will hit you with bad check fees.

I got the same letter and check.  Oh well, I was hoping it would be real.  I had fun dreaming for a little while, but ......   I am one of those "elderly widows", and I didn't fall off the hay cart yesterday.  I knew that if I had to send money, it was a scam.  But dreaming for a little while was fun.

I got one today from Lana Corporation Ind. c/o Long Motor Corp. same address, but with the city being Lenexa, KS. with a check for $3985.50. Really??? What makes me mad is some of these older people do not know what is going on and they really think they won. They go to the bank cash it, then they are out that much money. What kind of people do this crap? This is b***s*** and needs to be stopped!!!!!!

I got a letter and check ($985.50) too.  It said I won $10K, and that the $985.50 check is for the bond fee that I will have to pay to a government bond agent.  Then it advises me to keep the winning notification confidential until my winning prize has been sent (as part of their security measures to avoid double claiming).

The address on the envelope is a P.O. Box in Ontario, Canada.  The address on the letter is 5675 Ralston St., Ventura, CA, and the company name on the envelope is Lana Corporation, c/o M.C. L. Trading Corp.  I found out that Ventura, CA address for Chicago Title Co., and that Lana Corporation is dissolved.

Me too! I received a check for $3,985.50. Oh, shoot, the routing number is fake, the address is fake, although there are Fulton Banks. Maybe I should call them and let them know someone is using their name for fraudulent purposes. Also, came in an envelope with a Canadian return address. Darn, and I was getting ready to go shopping.....lol

Do not try to cash the check!!!  It will come back for non-payment and you will end up paying for it in the long run.  Typical scam, you won "X" amount but have to pay a fee of some sorts.  You should never have to pay for anything that YOU WON!  Stay away, stay far, far away.....
