I was mailed a check for $4998.00, with instructions on who to spend it as a "Mystery Customer" I letter said to call in for further instructions. They said to deposit the check, wait for it to clear and then call back. I went ahead and deposited the check and then a couple days later checked my account and the deposit had been reversed, due to it being a non-negotiable item. I scaned the web and found a warning on the CA Department of Financial Institutions and found the following. With the exception of the bank information on the check, everthing else was the same.
