Alert
BBB has received information that the name and return address of this business has been spoofed in order to advertise multiple scams involving fraudulent cashiers checks. Scams include: vehicle wrapping, USPS postage, work-from-home, Craigslist payments, & secret shoppers. BBB has confirmed that SPA, Inc. is not associated with these fraudulent offers or checks.
Consumers who have been victims of the scam report their banks rejecting the checks and alerting them that they are fraudulent.
BBB advises you to exercise extreme caution before cashing a check that you receive unsolicited in the mail. Many of these checks appear to be official, and you may receive them in the form of alleged lottery winnings, sweepstakes, uncollected funds, or in conjuction with a work-at-home or secret shopper job offer. The instructions are usually always the same: you are asked to deposit the check and then forward another check to an agent for some sort of fee. Once deposited, the money will appear available before being flagged as fraudulent and rescinded from your account-- and you will be on the hook for any money spent during that time. BBB advises you to wait for your bank to confirm a deposited check is legitimate before using the funds.
If you receive one of these checks in the mail, please contact the local Postal Inspector at (513) 684-8000.
