I received this same exact email. I googled the facility and really thought it was legit. WRONG. My credit union would not cash the check so I called the bank the check was made out on, Guaranty Bank and Trust Company. They said that it is fraudulent and could I send the information that I had. Wish I checked for the name before falling into it.

I have received the same script from Peter Manak with the email address of [email protected].

When it's too good to be true it usually is....

When I deposited the check I asked the bank to verify the check is good before they release the funds. I am very glad I did that as they were going to release them right away because of my relationship with them.
