That's weird..is it addressed to you or was there some mix up in the mail? If it is addressed to you, ask around. Do your parents know her perhaps? Some aunt you never heard of? Is it a good friend that uses her maiden name you never heard before perhaps? Maybe with the ladies last name and city (if provided) you can find her in the phone book and call her to see why she send a check? I'm sure it feels much better cashing the check if you are sure the money is legally yours. Good luck!

Be careful because that happened to me. Some stupid woman named "Jennifer Dusky" said that this guy who I have never heard of was sending me a check in the mail. Apparantly they thought I was as stupid as they were and that I wouldn't check to see if it was legit. It wasn't.
What happened was I answered an ad in my e-mail about working from home and it was a scam. The womans name was ficticious, as was everything else. What was so dumb about the entire thing was that it was obviously a print out. There were numbers on the back that looked as if they had been cut off by a printer.
Just be careful, a lot of scams and trashy people out there.

No. If you don't know who this person is, it is probably a scam. Isn't there any contact info on the check? Either contact this lady, and find out why she sent a check, or don't do anything with it. If you cash it, you can be traced to the check. Talk to your bank and see what kind of scam this could be, if you have questions.

no. It could involve you in something that you would be better off avoiding.
If the check bounces then it affects your account, your bank charges you the fees, and gives you negative marks on your record.
There are many more reasons to steer clear, but these are a starter.

If you cash it and it isn't good you will be liable to the bank to pay that amount plus bounce fees. If she sent it to you in your name the safest way is to take it to your bank and ask them to verify if it is good or not. Saves you all the headaches down the road.

Is it made out specifically to you? How much is it for? If it has your name on it, I think I'd try to call or write to find out what it's for before cashing it, just to be on the safe side!

If you have to ask this question in the first place, your moral values have fallen too far in the first place, and you won't listen to any good advice.

I think you should figure out why she sent it to you.
