I contacted the bank and gave them the account #.
They said it was a valid check.

Everything about it though points to a scam.

No... does the check have any fine print on it and how much is it for?

I have no idea what this is all about... any details?

Free money doesn't come through the post, I wouldn't cash it in if I where you.

Heh, they need to update their front page on their web site. I think the Athens 2004 Olympics were like 2 years ago.

But definitely spam... Don't cash it and just throw it away with the other junk mail.

I get at least one of these a week though not from this group.

Its a loan with, as far as I've seen, ridiculous rates and by cashing the check you are accepting the contract as they have written it.

Someone asked the size of the check. A small FYI that I learned years ago... Anything can be passed as a check as long as it has all of the pertinent info that your official check has. You could, in theory, put this all on bar napkin (I suggest just giving her the phone number for now, check later in life) and give to the bartender as a check. They prolly won't accept it and the bank is gonna get a little fidgety but it works...

Best,
Dru

Dimensions of the check are 216cm x 89cm (8.5" x 3.5")

It is exactly the same size as the checks I get from my DZO

Thanks for the info.

I called Dynatemp and they said don't cash the check. They said the scammers are sending checks to everyone.

I did a google search but didn't come up with anything.

Sounds like a common scan out of Haiti. They will send a valid check and mention fees. You cash the check and are lead to believe it's on the up and up. Then they request the fees and it gos back and forth until the sucker finally sends them a bunch of money. I've seen it work several times believe it or not.

Don't fall for it
