Beware of Check Scam

So, my daughter has her information listed on some modeling site. This morning, we received a check on the porch delivered overnight FedEx. Melissa opened it and it was a check for upwards of $1800. It was a Citibank check with a watermark. It listed some legitimate company from California (construction agency) as who the check was from. However, the phone number for the company was not correct. She also received an email from them stating that she was receiving sponsorship for her modeling career from this company. She thought it was legitimate and was upset with us that we were investigating further. Apparently, they asked her to cash the check and then forward several hundred dollars to some agent at a certain location. I am so glad we got the check instead of her, or she would have screwed herself out of $1800+ that she doesn't have. Beware...If it seems too good to be true, it probably is...
