I am not sure about legal or not, but its a SCAM
It is not real and it is not legal. You will be cashing either a forgery or a counterfeit check. You may even be involved in laundering money. Just delete the e-mail.
Its Real ...go ahead and cash it.
Yes, it's a scam.
Most banks let you cash a check against your account without verfying that the check is good. When the check ultimately bounces, you become liable for the money you withdrew.
SCAM There is also an email claiming the same address for the rose-household Manufacturing Company and SunBTech Household Textiles all these places are just scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Would YOU trust a stranger with your companies money?
Scam scam scam scam scam!
Never send anybody money.
SCAM!!!!!!
Almost certainly a scam.
Anything that starts "dear sir/madam" means the sender did not know who they were writing to -- hence spam.
of course its a scam
It is a scam, no two ways about it., And furthermore you can actually be held accountable for check fraud even if it isn't your idea.
Yes. The pope is Catholic.
NO. It's not real, nor is it legal.
SCAM! Illegal... don't do it!
SCAM... the check will "clear" when cashed, but when it bounces, YOU will be responsible for it.
You know its a scam already so why ask and who would? It seems like anybody who would ask is actually an actual scammer themselves.
Welcome to the world of "Nigerian Bank Scams"! No, it's not real and not legal. If you received it in the regular snail mail, the FBI might want to have a look at it. If you got it in your email, mark it as spam and forget about it.
It sounds like a scam. There are lots of those emails going around.
One of them claims that their company has money that they need you to put into your bank account for them.
One elderly American man contacted them and got involved in their scheme. They asked for his bank account number so they could transfer money to it, and when he gave them the information, they transferred all his money out of his account.
He couldn't get in touch with them again, so he traveled to their location to look for them. It turned out, they were a gang of criminals preying on people by email, and when he found them, they killed him.
