I walked into a citibank branch and showed them to the manager. She said they are almost certainly fake, but I'm still waiting to hear back from their fraud investigators to confirm this.

she says that this kind of scam happens all the time. I asked her what these people have to gain by sending me a check that I would deposit only to find out it's no good: they're after our account and routing numbers. I told her I find that hard to understand because any time you send out a check that information is right there on the check. She said that in the wrong hands, an account number and routing number can compromise an account.

In fact that's why my bank set me up with an automatic sweep account so that only the necessary amount is kept in checking. Everything else is automatically put out of reach of scam artists that may access the account through fake or altered checks or other means.
