Call the issuing bank and pose as a retailer and ask for verification of funds..
They will say yes or no...
In allot of cases now this can be done with a 1-800 Number and a automated voice for retailers..

Give it a shot!

I say look up this fellini cat and call him up.

he prolly meant to send it to another person with your name.

be honest and offer to return the money as a sign of respect.

there may or may not be a reward for being honest, but regardless its the right thing to do.

besides, being $3000 in debt to a guy named Fellini seems to me like a bad position to be in.

I would have to say that cashing the check is the only way to really get to the bottom of this... or the nearest lake.

Smells like a 419 scam to me.

You can have your bank call his bank and verify that the funds are available in his account. Not an absolute guarantee that the check won't bounce, though.

I'd still probably just try and cash it. Not like I have anything to lose though. Already in debt :evil:

Zerox it then cash it. If it has contact information on the check maybe you should call\write the person on it.

My sentiments exactly.

Personally I'd call one of the other 7 Fellini's in NY and see if they know how to get in contact with him about it.

Well, after reading all the other posts... The only trouble I can really see is that someone might try to say that you had agreed to sell him something, and try to collect that... Or someone had mentioned something about cashing a "fake" check...

but if you keep the envelope with a copy of the check, I'm sure they could analyze the handwriting to clarify that you were not involved...

I don't think it is likely that the bank would supply your account/routing number to someone unless the police were involved... At that point, they'd probably freeze your account anyways...

Write a letter and ask frank what's up?
