Cash it and the scammers get your deposit data stream and your account number, etc. it’s common to get checks for something you don’t know about. Don’t fall for it….

Did you check to see if there was an asterisk saying if you cash it you will be charged 39%?

Years ago, I was building a company and we were growing pretty fast. We were buying a steady stream of 2-3 high end Dell refurb CAD/CAE workstations per month. One day, they sent us an entire pallet of 8 of them. That we didn't order.

I called our regular rep. "Let me get back to you on that." Called a couple of other Dell numbers. "We'll look into it and get back to you ASAP." After three months, we just unpacked them and put them into service. No one at Dell ever called me back. We never saw a bill. These were probably $7k-$8k machines at the time.

It is listed as a settlement from FTC V Arise.. It seems is a gig work company/customer service jobs.. It seems that I worked for Arise from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023.... I did not.

Its possible the company you did work for was part of a larger organization that you were not aware of.

Later, the bank realized it had made a mistake and wanted us to prosecute. We declined.


I've always wondered, what is a reasonable amount of time or due diligence before one can just decide to keep it?

To be completely safe from criminal prosecution, the federal statute of limitations if five years from commission of the offense. Generally the civil statute of limitations for a private suit is shorter, 3-4 years depending on where you are.

Cashing a check made out to his name? Fraud?

Do you have a very common Indian name like Pradeep Singh?

Don’t deposit. Check your state’s unclaimed property in a year…if it shows up there, claim it!
