Bear Transportation Services/John Carter Attempt to get money Montreal, Quebec

Assumed this is an attempt to get money by fraud. Notified my mother in law that she was entitled to an $80,000.00 settlement. The only way she could collect was to call their office first. It was their responsibility to inform her of the north American law which stipulates that the receiver must pay a processing fee before her funds are released. That the same law also prevents her from paying the fees out of her personal funds. And due to certain safety restrictions they could not completely disclose all details concerning her settlement in the letter she received. Take advantage of this claim by contacting her agent John Carter at 514-561-8655. This check in the amount $2247.82 came from Plano, Texas, his number is in  Quebec. Luckily my mother in law came to me first and the power of Google gave me exactly what i thought, this is a clever fraud, but not clever enough to get past me. i will be forwarding this letter and check to the proper authorities.
