Is this a real Business? The Finger Company Survey Inc.?

i like many others received a letter with a check for 4995.00 with all these insructions on what to do..anyway i did a search on the company name but could not some up with anything untill i typed in www.fingercompany.com and a site did come up however it is for an apartment place..not a survey business,...the address on the site for the coorprate office is on the check i received....is there anyway to find out if the bank is real and the account is real...and what kinda scam could they be pulling with this. and also the signiture is the same name as the c.e.o on the site i went to anyway i hope you can help me out.

I believe this is a scam because as far as I know, CEO's barely sign checks worth 4995. Indeed, small companies do not have CEO. Instead they have president.

It's *not* real. It *is* a scam.

The check is phony. They want you to deposit it in your bank account and then send them some of *your* money, which they'll then disappear with. And when the bank discovers you've deposited a fraudulent check, they'll take all those funds back from you and you'll be out whatever you sent the company, plus whatever fees and penalty charges your bank hits you with.

Bring the check and all the documents you got to the bank or to the police. They'll straighten you out about what a scam this place is.

If the "survey" requires you to cash the check in any way and forward the money via Western Union or wire, it is a SCAM. The check is fake. I will bounce but only after you send the money out leaving you on the hook for the shortage.

Many of the scams are disguised as Secret Shopper programs for places that offer money orders or Western Union services.

And what do they want you to do? What is the check payment for?

Sounds like one of those sound alike companys or part of a scam. No company is going to send you advance money for doing surveys or whatever.

Anyone can make a website. Ditto a check. Company websites as a rule dont list the ceo. McDonalds doesnt, neither does coca cola or pepsi.

Do a search for the bank. Call them and verify funds and account.

Also this is a frequent question on Yahoo answers.
