THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

It is a good thing I am not dumb enough to believe things like this.I also got a call from this number saying they have a "check" for me. I would know of any checks. And anything that sounds to good to be true usually is. If you are smart just ignore this call.

Similar call regardng having a check (supposedly from Bank America), but needing money for insurance to cover sending check.  "Roxanne Smith" claims to work for law frim of Crowson & Crowson in El Paso.  I called firm.  They said no such person and that they had reported the use of the firm name.  I call Ms. Smith back to request name be remeoved from their fraudulent scam list -- she hung up on me.

someone calls reporting to "have a check" and that I should call her.  Very, very doubtful.
