Listed below are some of the actual scenarios accompanying the fraudulent checks:

1. Checks received through the mail, with a letter indicating they had won a contest or lottery.

2. Checks received stating they had inherited money from a distant relative.

3. Checks received with a letter requesting them to send back money to cover taxes and/or expenses.
