This may or may not help anyone, but I contacted the company the the check I deposited was supposedly from. I told them I had kept all my communications with "Pertus" and even kept the fedex envelope if they needed it. The representative was very thankful and said he would pass my contact information on to the FBI and they would contact me if they needed anything. He said that at first, they were going after the individuals cashing the checks, but then they soon realized what was really happening and quit going after these people. I really have no hope that anyone will get their money returned, but those who were charged with a crime should definitely be able to gather some evidence. It may be worth contacting the company your check was supposedly from. Also, companies have a lot more power when it comes to getting the FBI to do something about this. It's worth a shot.
