Got a letter from them.

hey, I got this letter too, I called and got some terrible attitude when I inquired about there organization. I got yelled at and he hung up on me pretty quickly, all I asked was his name. This is no doubt some kinda scam of sorts.

i got same thing cept the  check does have a water mark and the bank logo is not fuzzy and the bank actualy exsist but still this dosent meen its not a check scam so i am going to call the bank the wrote the check im shure they will like to know that someone is useing there bank in a scam. at the very least the bank the check is from will close the account on the scamer.but what gets me is this virgin atlantic inc (the supossed scammers have the nerve to use that name and use it over and over and when i called i actualy talked to a person now if this is a scam and i can call and talk to a actual person why can legal action not be taken against this person or people?i plan to push this as far as i can legaly, cause me and my wife struggle to make ends meet and when we got this in the mail we got very excited and took it to our bank to show our friend who works there and she said our bank would not even take the check and if they did they would hold it for 11 days so i am assuming the scammer knows this and is hopeing that u will already have over  2k or what ever the ammount they want u to send themm in your account so you go ahead and with draw it and send the money. so what i suggest you do if faced wit a secnario like this is call the bank that is on the check and talk with them and most likely the can tell ya if its real or not

This is a scam! I work at a bank, and my husband and I also received one of these checks. First off, have you ever done "online gaming" with this website or company? You can't win money from a company if you've never even heard of them or interacted with them. The scammers want you to deposit this check, then you would send them a REAL check for $2850 (for the supposed processing fee). By the time the check they sent you bounces, they will already have the real check you sent them, and you will be out $2850. Take note of the check they sent you: is the bank symbol in the top left corner fuzzy? Also, there is most likely no watermark on the back of the check. Lastly, on the check we received, the postmark on the envelope was from Canada, but the address on the letter they sent is from Pittsburg, PA (spelled incorrectly). These are all signs of a definite scam.

Sounds like I wrote this myself, exact sentiments

Call your Better Business Bureau - 99.99% of these are scams.

This is a number associated with a letter and a check in the amt of:$4,077.47 which I received in the mail stating that I needed to take the check to the bank, deposit the money less $2850., and then contact the office for payment instruction.  Upon completion of this, I would be issued a payment of $194,780.00.  I haven't called the number yet...and am afraid this is a scam to get my bank account numbers etc.  I will find a payphone to call from tomorrow and try to get more info.
