I would call the bank that the check is drawn from and verify that the account is valid. If something is to good to be true then it usually is.
Ps. If it is valid, you can send some of that my way:)

It's a form of money laundering. Or if they are telling you to cash it and send them back a certain amount, then it's definitely a scam. Either way, you don't just make $42,000 that easily and they just send you a check. Many of these scam companies produce sophisticated checks that look legit, but are actually fake. To be sure, cash it at your bank, but don't touch the money until it clears.

Beware as there are jerks out there that send you bogus cheques to get your ID and banking info to launder cash and also to obtain your credit info and sell it to the ones that come into the country to destroy your very own living and these jerks are hooked to terrorists too...Big thing here in Canada too with the letters coming from all over the world with amazing offers of wealth...Old saying is if it sounds too good to be true It usually is...check with the bank you deal with and let them call the issue bank, and if bogus or suspicious call feds..

I can guarantee that it is fraud. Why would someone pay you when you haven't done any work? I work at a bank and see this stuff all the time. It is fake and now that they have your address they will be sending you fake checks all the time using different "schemes" Do not fall for their tricks.
