Do not cash the check!
If you are unfamiliar with the company, shred the check and throw the entire mess away.
This is a sophisticated pfishing, identity-stealing SCAM!
What they do is they send a lot of fake checks out hoping that someone will take the bait. If you cash the check, your bank account number appears on it. Now they have your name, your address and your bank account --THEY HAVE YOUR IDENTITY!
Usually the checks will bounce if they are for a serious amount. But $1 or $5 each to get access to someone's personal financial information is cheap enough.
DO NOT CASH THE CHECK!
You COULD report it to your State's attorney general and send them copies of the letter and the FAKE check.
But it would probably be easier to SHRED the CHECK, SHRED the bogus letter and the envelope it came in.
AND IF SOMEONE SENDS YOU A CHECK YOU DID NOT EARN OR DID NOT EXPECT, SHRED IT TOO.
DO NOT CONTACT THESE PEOPLE OR THEY WILL HAVE YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER TOO AND START CHARGING CALLS TO YOU.
