I did receive a check and I am stupid , thought it was true.
I tried to cash it and the bank told me it was a scam.
I was told in the letter to go buy something from walgrenns and walmart, try to return something at walmart and send some money western union
rate all of that and then there was an amount that was tobe mine.
I just got one of these today.. Check in the amount of 3,545.00 and its to help pay for 2,980.00 in Canadian taxes.. The signature in the letter is obviously fake! it dosen't even say Joan Cooper in the siggy.. It took all i could to to tell my husband it was fake..
