This number it a scam. I called the bank of the check that was sent and I was told it was fraudulent.  I was to cash it and then send money to receive an even larger lump sum. The lump sum would have never come.

yeah the sob tried to scam my dad who is bedridden, I would love to take these punks out and give them a old fashioned beat down!

Sending fake checks through the mail is a crime so contact the US Postal Service Inspectors:

Or take it to your local postmaster.

Thanks I will do this!
