Yang's Trick Send Fraudulent Check via UPS Check was Bank of America Regents Univeristy of Calif Conover North Carolina
Received a UPS envelop with a check for over $3800. Nothing else was in the envelop. No letter no instructions just the check. I have no idea why this check was sent how they got name and address.
The Check was a Bank of America Check it had Bank of America wire transfer ABA number
I went to a Bank of America Bank and they said they thought the check was fraudulent but would not check the account numbers. Since I was in Pennsylvania and the Check was on a California branch account.
I called the California Bank of America number and reported the check.They checked the account number and said the account was not valid.Since the check had wire transfer ABA number rhe check was not a valid check, but they said the account number was not a valid account.
The account rep checked with their fruad department and was told they could not pursue the matter any further. I mentioned that maybe the Regents might be concerned to know this was going on, but they said I would need to take this matter to the local authorities if I wanted to attempt to pursue further.
It seems to me they do not care to try and do anything about this. That's why I;m entering this here.
I do not know how to go about trying to go after the person(s) doing this or exactly how they are making anything on this scam. Any ideas. I have been told if this was deposited to an account and the bank
actually deposited the check their could be bad check fees and I would be responsible for the amount of the check.
I have no intention of cashing this check but I would like to know what is the value of this scheme.
Is there some way they could get my personal information if the check was deposited. If that is true can anyone that writes a check get the personal information of someone who deposits the check.
The check account information was
Regents of the University of Califo
11011 Broadway
Oakland, Ca 94611
The UPS envelope sender address UPS Account Number R03232

The scammer made a mistake

There should have been a piece of paper in the envelope that described the scam (usually a bogus sweepstakes, or you've been chosen to be a secret shopper). The paper would have instructed you to call a person who would have told you to deposit the check and wire them back some money via Moneygram or Western Union. By the time the bank discovered that the check was bogus (5 -7 days), your REAL money would be long gone and you'd be responsible for repaying the bank for the bogus check.
