I receive a check from cypress abbeycompany- pobox 890 in kenwood ca 95452, ok this is not a company , this is a piece of land, they send me this check to wrap my car in name of Robin I cream, 2 days ago, and they sent a piece of paper explaining what has to be done plus they gave me a phone # to call them and let them know that I receive the check, this is the phone # 708-232-3545.
When I spoke to them the first time I told them that I was going to investigate this check before I put this in my account but looks that they just don't care about so what I'm going to do is just give this to the police and see if they can do something about. fr

Just recently received same, but check was 1500, they only respond by texts but somehow they delete our questions, all they want is deposit info n u to ok them for further instructions. They refuse to give decal company name too. Our bank looked at check n said to contact company n the bank thts on check. No way to contact bank n company phone # doesn't exist. Do we throw it out or turn it over to authorities, or just hang on to it...they have our address, so should we b worried?

I just received a cashier check for 3,650.00, dated 11/11/19.

Remitter: Suzanne Patton.

I tried to verify the routing number, 217500395, of course, it doesn't exist so I googled "Baskin Robbins Scam and ended up here.

Apparently, this scam has been going on for a while now but I hadn't heard about it. Although it sounded too good I thought," what the h**l...", but when I received the check today, I was more curious than anything, as to how someone would work this scam. Thank you to all that posted previously.
There was a letter along with the check that said, "Hello, the check you received is for a promotional drive campaign for ROBBINSice cream please text your full name and the check number to 623-505-5427 to confirm your package.

I'm not sure if anyone is investigating this but I thought I give as much information as possible just in case.
