Better Business Bureau warns of new mail check scam

Better Business Bureau warns of new mail check scam

Getting a $2,950 check in the mail may have you feeling like it’s your lucky day. But, cashing it could turn out to be your worst nightmare.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) said it’s just a scam. The company said it is receiving reports from people who checks mailed out to them pretending to be their company.

When I showed the photo of the fake checks to people on the street, they couldn’t believe how real it looked.

It comes in a priority mail envelope with the actual address of BBB on it.

The company said it’s important to remember that you can receive a fake check from any business or organization.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

When in doubt, check with your bank before cashing any checks or giving out any personal information.
