I am just asking because I am infuriated at a letter I received via usps stating that I had won a certain amount of money with a fraudulent check enclosed. I just happen to work for a bank so I know the routing number and account number was invalid, but I feel horrible for the people that have fallen victim for these type of scams. I want to do something about it.
Anyone want to offer some advice?

GO ahead and try. What makes you think the 'company' is actually based in Canada? Assuming it is a scam, which I don't doubt, why do you believe ANYTHING they said?
PS: I also work for a bank and I KNOW there is no way you could possibly know the ACCOUNT number is invalid. You can confirm the ROUTING number is or is not valid, but ANY number could be a valid account number.
