I am not calling the police I decided to wait to see if the checks clears 1st.  Then take it from there.  How did you all handle this?

These guys are working with debt collectors somehow.  I have a 2nd line that I use privately and exclusively with debt collectors.  THEY CALLED BOTH my normal line and my 2nd line (and that's how I know at least first not to pick up the phone--they are lousy debt collectors fishing for things they have no business fishing for).  Except this time, I find through this website that these people are check cashing scammers.

Funny and ironic, don't you think?

I'm an attorney and have seen this several times.  You are correct, it is a scam.  What they do is have you deposit the check.  As soon as it clears, they want you to wire out most of it (and let you keep some for your trouble.)  There is often a 2-3 timeframe from when the bank clears the check and when it comes back to them as a fraudulent check.  It is during that time they hound you to wire the funds.  When it comes back as fraudulent, the bank looks to you to pay it back and you can't get the wire back.

I have no idea why I recieved this check.  No prior phone calls or emails.  And it came to my work address. The check is also in my maiden and married name. I recieved a check for $3600.00 today.  It was in a UPS envelope and no explantion.  It's a bank of america check from a company called Schlumberger and signed by Terrill A Ojama.  With a Company address as 5599 San Felipe  Housstopn Texas 77056.

I did not call the police I am waiting until the check clears.  How did you handle this?

I got a check for 2800.00 I deposited it today.  Then I googled the phone number and found this sight.  He is a fraud.  I am calling the police.  He said the company he worked for Transport Logistics from Los Angeles, CA send me his paycheck and he wanted me to deposit the check then western union the money to him.

I got a check yesterday for $2800.00 This man wanted to by a ladder for 175.00 he said the company he worked for by accident sent me his paycheck and wanted me to cash the check then keep an additional 100.00 for any expensises to send the money western union.  I deposited the check.  Then my husband and I thought it was weird so I googled the phone number and found this site.  I know this is fraud and will call the police.  DO not take any checks from him.  The signiture was stamped.  John Faith.  This man never calls he only emails..  BEWARE........  The company on the return address was Transport Logistics  4256 4yh ave.  Los angeles, CA  90035

Received check for $2150 and wants me to wire money to someone else for an ite he bought from me.  Any ideas what I should do?  I have contacted my local police department.
