I recieved a check for $2,990in the mail where I'm supposed to wire a certain amout somewhere-and then spend so much at 2 stores. I'm very skeptical and wonder if anyone else has gotten this. Also, is there anywhere you can cash a check if you don't have those funds available in your checking account. I tried to cash it today to see if the funds were really there because there's 2 legitamite banks named on the check. Anty info would be great!

Trust me that this is a scam! I was a collector for a credit union and this happens to people all the time. If you deposit it and then wire the money you are going to be responsible for the repayment to the bank or credit union once the check comes back as fraudulent. If I were you I would report the situation.

That's so obviously a scam that I'm surprised you even asked the question. Wire the money somewhere, and you'll be out that much when this 'check' bounces - and it will.
