Received a weird contingency check.....

Wade_Owens · 05-06-2012, 10:11 AM

I received a check from a company called CMGRP, Inc on saturday. I know it was triggered from the contigency payouts because of an address problem all of my other checks had. After searching online and finding nothing, I called the number and it said it was tied in with a company called "Frontline". What's weird is, the automated voice prompted me to push 2 if I had a question about a check I received. In this day and age, I wont cash anything unless I know who its from and why.....

Anybody else get one of these?

did you push 2??

I would be careful. Once you cash it it goes back to the company with your bank account number on it. It could be a scam.

I did, it goes to a person who is "out of the office and will return my call"

Funny, the envelope says from Nebraska, the check was from Minnesota...

open a checking acct with it (don't put anything else in it), that way you're covered and all they can get is a useless cheking acct.

Probably a service that handles payouts for one of your sponsors. Several use them.

Wade,

Carefully back away from the check and see if you can see any odd spectrum of light coming from it, you need to do this at a hard angle to see the light. If there is light coming off of it, seal it in a Manila envelope, this will account for irregular spectrum of light exposure escaping.

If there is no light spectrum coming out, then just put it in a regular envelope.

Regardless of which method is performed, send it immediately to me for further analysis. Make sure that you sign the back of it so I know where and who it came from.

I am so glad that you reported this, I have been looking into these situations, I know I will be able to stop this proliferation of unsuspecting checks.

Keep in touch,

Ron Ortiz
