At BankingQuestions.com we often receive similar questions, such as these below, which yield the same answer.
"I received a check in the mail in the amount of $4,955.00 from J.P Morgan Chase. Is this a real check?"
and
"I received a check in the mail yesterday. I don't know who the sender is and I don't know why they sent the check. How do I know if the check is real?"
Here is a related question on fraudulent checks, but the bottom line is that if you are not expecting this payment, there is a very good chance that the payment isn't correct. This is especially so if there is any request for remittance from you. The old saying is as true today as it ever was, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
