Some of the scams we've encountered lately that target senior citizens will send out fake checks for a company, ask the victim to deposit it and return some portion of the money to receive a huge lottery win. The checks they send out will often have a fake website with a domain name that is close to that of the real company so that if the victim goes online they will see what they think is a legit company. Check with your company bank to make sure that no fraud is happening on your account. The bogus checks have real account numbers on them.
