i was also sent a 1,985 check in the mail with instructions..i researched the name and found a report filed against that company. i clicked on the addy and read the gentlemens story who was from medford oregon..i am also from salem oregon. i did exactly what he had done and the instructions were the same ..western union then money gram...i went further and called the bank which informed me the acct does not exist and the check was a counterfeit. i called the number on the instruction paper that was sent with the check..surprise it was an answering machine recording...well i dug even further and used a site called domaintools to find out who the fake addy was registerd to!!! scammers are not as smart as they think they are with all these web sites we can use to research them..anyway after the @ you enter the address you are researching and it gave me the date that person registered it and the date it expired.. also gave me the name of the person her home address and her home phone plus her email address(her real one). she is in Tippin Ohio... i tried to file a complaint with the consumer protection agency and was informed i would have to pay a $25 fee to file a report.well no wonder they have no complaints on the co name this person is using!! people dnt wanna pay the fee...come on CPA thats why we continue to get scammed...anyway do not deposit check into your acct...it does not take 12 to 24 hours for a check to clear if the company is legitimate it gives the scallers time to take money from your acct..beware people check..check and double check befor you end up loosing money..
