I'll have to remember to hide it when she's over or just keep it behind bigger figures.

I'm trying to look them up on the internet but I don't know who I should go to for help.

For no reason at all I just received a check in the mail for $3,200. Is this some sort of weird scam, or whatever? I don't how it could be but why was I sent it? Maybe the bank could help me if I go? Yeah... I guess I should go there. This is soooo bizarre!

EDIT: Found the company online and called them. Apparently this is the new scam that's going around and they've gotten tons of calls about it. I wonder why they got my address. So, check torn up, and back to life as usual. If someone wants to send me legit free money, though, you are more than welcome to!

For science.

The only thing I can see is if it's not real, and you try to pay for something with it, only for the check to bounce. But, that's really the only thing I can see happening...which isn't a scam, just a really bad prank. A really really bad prank.

See? You don't know anything about it either; you're just making guesses. I'll admit I haven't really taken notice of you before. Are you normally this off putting?

I don't know if what I was sent works exactly like this, but either way it IS a scam and not good at all if I'd tried to cash the thing. I'm not the only person this has happened to: http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/checkcashingscams.php
