There are misspelled words, and I tried calling the number and no one picked up. I didn't know what the person was saying on their answering machine and it was only about 1 second without even stated the company, name, hours, or anything! It's a scam and the check looks real but doesn't feel real and the back of the check is weird too. It doesn't look like a regular check. And it's funny because I moved out of the address 2 months ago and they sent it to my old address instead of to my new one. Please be careful of these things and God bless...
