Travelors Cheque Scam

[raanemaan]

My daughter just received $3,000 in Travelor Cheques delivered by UPS. She called up the fraud division and they said they were fake. How does this scam work? No names were on the cheques.

Did they ask to wire the remaining amount back?

Nothing was in the envelope but 6 $500 cheques.

heh yea
generally they send you cheques, then ask for a small check back... u deposit fake checks and get screwed over.
guess the scammer got scammed

Sounds odd to me. Maybe they are going to call and say they sent cheques to wrong address. Tell her to cash them and keep a small amount for her trouble while sending the rest to them.
