Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
My mother, 91 yrs, received a check drawn on PNC BANK,N.A.070 for $6,560.00, by Postal mail. It was from Finish line. The check was very authentic looking and business and bank legitimate. I took the check to a local bank and the branch manager said the check could probably be cashed, due to her having an acct at the bank. She would get the $$ and then the check would bounce. In the interim, the scammers would call; say they gave her the check by mistake and request her to send the money to them, actual wire transfer or check. He admitted the check was very real looking. Of course, no one sends over $6K, without reason; unless it is a scam. I was glad we happened to be
at my mom’s when this occurred.
