Since I was looking for jobs on the Internet I found an interesting add. All I had to do is to take 10% of the amount and send it further to another person. I was questioning the company about things and the replies looked like what Joe got. Now I'm sitting with the check in my hand which I received today. $2500!! The company who they claim to be is Canon Oil company and they have their own website, but on the check it says it's from "Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers" and that maid me wonder too so I searched on the Internet about check scams and I found this website. Thank god I am not alone... So what do I do now? And by the way I'm from Denmark. Hey everyone. Since I was looking for jobs on the Internet I found an interesting add.

Attorney General Office’s also have a “fraud” dept—report these scams to them!

The check was for $4,870.00, 1/2 of the total grant of $9,740.00. The check was drawn on the account of "Davis Software Concepts" and was a WAMU.com check. I was instructed to cash/deposit it and then send a 10% "commission" to Al Synder ($974.00), then he would send me the other 1/2 of my "grant" REPORT THESE SCAMS!!

What a coincidence that you got the check while you were looking for grants. How do you think "Al" got your name and address? Sorry to hear that, Kelli.

I am having a lot of problems now. My bank account at Bank of America has been closed. My bank account at Compass has been flagged. I am in process of reporting this to the proper authorities. I have handed it over to Washington Mutal's scam department. This really sucks and it is horrible that people scam people like this.

Lots of people have cashed the checks. Check scammers send out hundreds of checks so that even if a small fraction fall for it, they still make a lot of money.

He wants 10% of 9,000 and it must be paid in 5 days on a a specific card. The bank is Washington Mutal Bank and the business it should be drawn from is EL CAJON CONSULTING. This really needs to go to the law, thank god no one has cashed their checks. I to received a check from Al Snyder. He wants 10% of 9,000 and it must be paid in 5 days on a a specific card.
