Source of Receipt— Did you receive the check by
mail or FedEx?

Contact with Sender— Was the receipt of the
check through contact you had with someone in
response to an ad, publication, or over the Internet?

Acquaintance— Is the sender/issuer of a check
someone you're only vaguely acquainted with or
you've never met in person (only through mail,
phone, or the Internet)?

Method of Sending Proceeds— Have you been
asked to wire or send by Western Union any
proceeds from the check?

If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you are a potential target for check fraud. Discontinue the transaction if possible. If it has already been processed contact RCU immediately to determine what can be done.
