me too!

Got a letter like it, I am going to send it to the US Postal Inspectors since there is a US address on the inside. Let the local media know.

I am so happy you posted this recently.  DO NOT FALL FOR IT!   Your first big tipoff is the yahoo.com e mail address.  The second tip off is that they specifically tell you that you have to call them to activate the check and then you only have 24 hours to complete everything.  This is because they're about to scam you.  Here's how it works:

You deposit the check (no, they don't need to activate it, it'll just go right in).  You then do everything they say, including sending money via Western Union to Spain.  Once the money is received on their end, they place a stop payment on the check you deposited.  Since it was an overseas transaction, western union will not refund (because the money had been picked up by that point anyway) and the back will make you responsible for the money you spent because the check ended up being no good.  When all i said and done, they've simply stolen $2,200.00 from you and there's really nothing you can do about it.  So yes... IGNORE IT, throw it away.. i'm pretty sure there's no way to report it, but sometimes I wish there was.

I got a suspicious letter in the mail with no return address and said it was confidential. but gives me no information at all as to who it is from and included a check worth $2,650.55. the only information given was that i am to spend so much at walmart, so much at JC penny, and then make a $2,200.00 transaction at Western Union. the person did not call me, but i am supposed to call them.
