M & T Financial Inc. Phony Check Scam from Tim Michael Mississauga Ontario
Recieved a letter from M & T Financial Inc. August 22, 2008. The letter was addressed from Canada, but stamped from Oshkosh, WI on August 20th. There was a check enclosed that made me suspicious. It was for $4,900.00, and was from Tim Hortons USA, Inc., 4150 Tulier Road, Suite 236, Dublin, OH 43017. The check looks real, and says the check is for Huntington National Bank, Westerville, OH.
I intend to call Huntingon National Bank and report this as a fraudulant check, and I hope that nobody falls for this scam, as the check is very convincing.

Was the check made out to you?

Was the check made out to you? Did the sender ask you to send cash back to them? Is the check really a discount on something? I would like to see more details but the bottom line, of course, is nobody is going to send you a legitmate check for free.
If you do cash it, do not spend any of the money until the check clears the issuing bank, which could take weeks.
Please provide more details.
