FRAUD ALERT PART 3 (Read 1 & 2 first) Someone checked out thereturn address on the letter itself. 120 4th Avenue, NY, NY and foundthe address as being a Subway Restaurant. Please be aware that if you receive something like this, it is a scam. The bank check is a forgery, but because of the way the banking systemworks, you can deposit the check and be able to draw against it in 2 to3 days. After 2 to 3 days, the victim would then take cash and wiretransfer it or western union it to the place where they were told. Aweek to ten days later, the victim would receive a notice from the bankstating the check either bounced or was a forgery and the bank woulddemand three thousand dollars from the victim. At this point there would be no way to trace the money or get any of itback. The victim would be liable to the bank for $3000.00 and in somecases subject to possible prosecution for passing a forged instrument. Go to Part 4
