A most peculiar envelope
    #5902224 - 07/26/06 03:41 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I received, today in the mail, a most peculiar envelope. It was hand addressed and contained a check for 2960.00 dollars. The check was hand written as well. It contained my first, last, and middle names. Although I do not know the person whom it was sent from my first instinct was to cash it. I thought, however, I would ask your opinion. What would you do?

Wow, you have no idea who sent it!?

I'd try and deposit or cash it for sure. Especially if it had my full name on it. Seems like it wasn't a mistake that it ended up getting there.

If you don't want it you could always sign it over to me! :hehehe:
(yes I'm a poor bastard :grin:)
Too bad I never get checks like that.

Wtach out for trick checks!! look around for small print, on the back of check, or accompanying paperwork. Sometimes, by endorsing the check, you agree to...insert scam here...
Find out who sent it before signing!!
Peace

No reason was given for it being sent to you?

Good point.. if the envelope didn't contain any other papers, and it looked like a normal check (I usually look over all of the writing on checks) then I say go for it.

I don't want a mob boss showing up at my door in 2 months telling me he sent it to the wrong person and shoot me. lol. Seriously though. I wish I had a digi cam to post a pic of it up. I have never had this happen. I think I am going to try and cash it tomorrow.

There was no accompanying paperwork or anything. The check is just the same as any hsbc check (normal size, no extra writing, water marks, ect.).


Maybe this is my lucky day.

i bet it was just some good hearted family member/ friend/ someone who knows you giving an anonymous gift.


i say cash it as thats what was clearly intended.

not to mention mob bosses are generally reasonable people if you invite them over for some tea and give them the check back

Do you own a home? I have heard of some schemes that involve people cashing checks and then the person who sent it trying to claim your house.

I think it's too good to be true.

I find it hard to believe someone you odn't know "mistakenly" sends you a check for that amount.

Who made out the check? I'd do some googleing, then go and ask the bank what they think.

Just to be safe, open up a new account and deposit it in there until it clears.

The person's name whom sent the money to you is printed on the check?

Why not just look into the name or whatever other info is on the check?

You can call the issueing bank to be sure the check is good.
