All, They are not in Canada.... they may be in England or Nigeria. The checks are generated out of Nigeria and Fedexed to you. I lured one of them in, got the check, ran it, and then turned it in to the Secret Service. You can send info to the US Secret Service about these scams if you like. I have had no follow up but I know they are working on it..... The checks by the way, look real. They have all the right routing numbers and bank accounts. There just is no account to cover it.....
