SCAM ALERT:

If you receive a check from this company DO NOT cash. The company’s account was hacked and checks were sent. At least one check was delivered in Canaan. The recipient wisely looked the company up and called to inquire as to why they received a check. They were informed that the company had been hacked and the account has been closed. Cashing the check will likely result in the bank recouping the funds from your account and possibly charging an additional fee.

Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
