Inland Security And Trust Possible scam to get access to your checking account New York New York
Be aware of this company - I think they are a FAKE. I received a check for $4875.00, and while I DID deposit it, I also put a 15-day hold on it while the bank investigates.
Calls to Chase Manhattan Bank in Syracuse NY were unsuccessful (they were correctly hesitant to verify a customer account) but I am sending a registered letter to them with a copy of the check so that they are aware of the possibility of fraud.
After having read some of the other posts, I checked the postmark on the envelope and it comes from Canada - but the Syracuse bank and a Manhattan address made me suspicious even before I knew the origination was Canada.
I don't understand why there was no letter in the envelope (which put my antennae up too) but it was possible that the check was a settlement from a recent insurance situation.
If the check clears and the funds are in my account, I will wait until I am notified by Chase Manhattan and my bank that the transaction is complete, on the advice of my attorney.
One thing to be aware of: if you are sent anything of value that you did NOT request/order you are under no obligation to keep it OR pay any fee or costs associated with the item(s). This is according to a postal employee who referenced a federal law. Check with your state and local agencies to be sure that there isn't a problem.
One final thing - the check material is legitimate, according to a bank official, but the information along the bottom of the check could be false or forged.
