Received a letter in Tennessee, postmarked from Canada, with no return address, on July 5th, 2011. The enclosed letterhead read as follows: Ricco Financial Solutions 540 Madison Avenue New York, NY.10022 Phone: 1-905-598-2033 Fax: 1-206-339-5513. As the border looked cheesy, and the letterhead contained punctuation errors, I searched the phone number and discovered it was in Brampton, Ontario Canada.
The envelope also contained a legitimate-looking check, in the amount of $3,450, from Huntington National Bank in Cinncinati, OH. The payor is listed as Columbia Properties Oklahoma City, LLC, 740 Centre View Blvd., Crestview Hills, KY 41017. As the payor's name appears nowhere in the body of the letter, I had to conclude that it must be a scam.
Thank you to Ripoff report, and the other person who filed a report. The content of the letter I received, dated June 14th,2011, is nearly ver batim what was written in the A & G Financial letter the other person received. My hopes may be dashed, but my suspicions were confirmed.

I took this letter and check to my local police department, and was told to absolutely NOT cash the check, as I would be made liable for the entire amount, plus fees. The officer suggested I turn it over to the FBI, if I wanted to pursue the matter.
Instead, I took it to my bank. The teller made a copy of the letter and called Huntington National Bank to check on the status of the payor's account. The teller in Ohio said that those checks are fraudulent, and therefore should not be honored. Please! Do not cash these checks!
