Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I recently received an envelope from Stallion Group, Inc, Bill Lawson addressed to me. It was sent Priority Mail Express 2-Day. The only thing in the envelope was a check made out to me in the amount of $1850.00. That was the only thing in the envelope. I was of course suspicious, but took it to my local bank for them to check it out. They checked and it was a legitimate bank. My bank actually called the bank and the account number was accurate. My bank suggested that we try putting it into our savings account and don’t try to take any of it out for a week or so to see if it goes through. A couple of weeks later my bank contacted me saying that was returned "Return Reason – Altered/Fictictious". I never expected it to to through, but it looked so real that it even had our bank fooled.
