After researching, the phone number on the check is in Ontario. If I look up HCC Surety Group in the yellow pages it has a different phone number. I'm sure it's a scam but should I report it to someone? The phone number on the check is an Ontario exchange. And the bank the check is drawn from is Wells Fargo (Ohio address). I'm wondering if American Contractors Indemnity Co/Hcc Surety Group (from their website seems like a legit co) know that their names are on these checks. I might call the number for them that I get from the yellow pages tomorrow.

I read about a similar scam. What they want you to do is cash the check and send them another check. Of course the check they sent is bogus (it looks REAL) and then you are out the $$. Another fishy thing...the check is for 2999.50 and the letter states 2999.00. The check has water marks and the original document thing on the back. Pretty good fake check.
