DO NOT SEND THE MONEY, I made a huge mistake and sent the money because I cashed the check and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the check I got, until the next business day but it was too late....THE CHECK I CASHED IS NOW ON "HOLD" ON MY ACCOUNT AND THE BANK DEDUCTED THAT AMOUNT FROM MY MONEY!!! No one knows anything about it, they keep me saying to wait until the 28th of this month, I try contacting worldcashutilities but of course no answer........the transfer was picked up in Russia.......I'm planning to go to the FBI department today so I don't appear to be the one trying to make fraud ....... I hope everything comes out good......Even if the check clears (which I really don't think so) I will go and you should do the same.......www.fraudaid.com is a good page for more info...........please contact me by email (I was trying to send you an email but you don't receive them) if you want more info about it, I'm sure there is a lot of people on our same situtation.........

This is a SCAM. Contact your Banks fraud department right away. Not to really appear urgent but this is usually a 24 hour number and I would do that ASAP.
The check will not clear and the people who get the returned check now have your bank account information. If you do not do anything there is a good chance they will use that information to clean your account out.

If you werent expecting to receive this check you shouldnt have deposited it. you may think it will clear in 10 days but it takes MUCH LONGER. It can take up to two months for you to find out it was BOGUS all along and by then you have either sent them their money or spent it and when your bank comes calling for the return of the money they arent going to wait for you to get it together

If this was a check they sent to you in return for sending them a portion of it back, it is 100% SCAM. The check is bogus, and you will never see your money again.

It's a scam. The check's not going to clear and if you send the money now you'll have to way to get it back. You'll be out the money. This scam is INCREDIBLY common right now.

it totally is a scam. don't do anything with it. contact your bank and see what they want you to do about it.
but, DON'T send ANY money.
good thing you found out now, instead of after they absconded with your money.
good luck.
