This is a scam they want you to cash the check and send them the cash. Then you bank finds out thet the check is a fake, and you owe them the money back. My letter has P. A Financial and the check is from Huntington National Bank. and the letter says to call Tracy Greenwood or Danny Smith.

I got the same scam. A bogus check for 3,910.00 from Huntington National Bank. This is a real Columbus Ohio bank but the "Toll free" number of 778 is a Vancouver BC area code overlay.
I did not even attempt to call the number. Fear of reverse charges. I will be shreading the check
I got a check for $3860.00 but they insist I keep it confidential until I have been paid in full a lump sum of $525,000.00. It seem my lucky numbers have paid off, it's funny I don't remember entering any contest.
I wish it were real, it's too good to be true so that means it's not.
It is wrong (as well as pointless) to cash the check. First, it's an invalid check that won't clear anyway. Second, if the money gets deposited into your account by some oversight, the money will eventually be demanded back, and you will be legally obligated to return the money. Actually, what would happen is that your bank would return the money, and you'd end up with a negative balance to deal with.
