scam..??

[justmetoo]

I have just recieved a check through the post (with correct address ) to myself, from the Halifax, for a large sum of money, my problem is this....I have no idea who this is from, the sender is a name I dont know, never heard of them....there was no letter , nothing but the check, and I cant make out the postal stamp.....is this a scam, what do I do...????

[weeal]

Contact the issuing bank (there will be a branch address on it) and ask them to confirm it with their client?
Great news if it truly is a gift !

[know-noknow]

???? what do you do?????

[justmetoo]

Thanks guys, there is no address apart from a po box thats whats making me wonder what its about...

[weeal]

isnt there a branch sort code?

[justmetoo]

yes the sortcode is 11-07-10 hubby says bung it in the bank.......but.....

[weeal]

any branch can tell you from the sort code which is the issuing bank im sure
I wouldnt want involved in anything by banking it, could be money laundering? check it out - it could be for real !
ask at your branch and see what they suggest

Bank it knowing it isn't yours and you'll get done for theft when they realise - which they will.

Good advice weeal, my other problem, is I live in Spain, so popping into the local Halifax isnt an option, thats what makes this so weird, it was posted from the UK, to my correct name and correct address, posted with an 50pence stamp, I worried about it, I dont know how money laundering works...

[weeal]

well, I would ask the advice of your own bank, explain all this to them and take their advice on it, they may be able to trace it for you.

Good luck

Postdog, it has my correct name on it, would that still be theft..????

[danglee]
