received a check for $6,000 and a letter telling me to call this number before cashing and to wire 5,000 to some person in canada. most likely a scam. checked better business bureau online, someone filed a claim against them. their "business" was rated F. work at a bank and the check looks authentic, but i don't trust it.

I live in savannah georgia, u.s.a and received the same letter. Flags went up when I noticed the survey name was general "mark" survey and the contact name is "mark" nelson. more flags when i noticed the check was drawn on "autopros" in texas! what does a canadian company have to do with this? i called the contact number and a male claiming to be "mark" (with a heavy jamaican accent)told me i had won because i filled out a survey at either walmart, costco or jc pennys back in december of 2008. i shop these stores but i never fill out surveys. VERY FISHY! my gut instinct tells me this has SCAM written all over it. undecided what to do here; shred the letter and check or take it to my local fbi office?
