Gentlemen, THIS IS A SCAM, PLEASE DON'T FALL ON IT. Comerica-Bank-Texas is a legitimate institution, but, the account number on the check, eventhough it starts with 18 like the their accounts do, does not exist in the bank files and Conexis, the "company" does not exist either. Beware people, If you haven't played the lottery in that city/state, DON'T FALL FOR IT.

Sincerely,
