I received the exact same letter with a check for $4950 from a company called Allen Petroleum Corp. The check is authentic and could easily be passed off as a real check but c'mon it's obviously a scam. Out of courtesy, I tried to call Allen Petroleum Corp. to let them know that they were involved (most likely involuntarily) in a scam but it was after hours and I didn't get to speak to anyone. Here's a few details about the check in case anyone gets something similar: it's dated 6/04/08, check number is 98247, amount $4950.00 from a banking institute called Wilmington Trust Co. at 399 E. Main St. Middletown, DE 19709. It's no doubt a scam, the letter which was enclosed with the check is as phony as it gets. It's a real sad state of affairs that these sort of things go on, we're much better people than that. Hopefully nobody falls for this scam because at the very least your going to have to do some explaining to some sort of authority regardless if you were aware or not that it is a scam.
