Email check Tabak vs Apple

I haven't heard of such a transactional way to do this before, but as noted in this topic by LAKingsFan22.

I chose electronic check when I put in for my payment. That’s what they sent.

So, the email is exactly what the user requested as the settlement payment. An electronic check. Not a physical paper one.

Should a person be careful here? Of course. But not every single thing that happens is automatically fraud.

I just clicked on the link and it shows the check made out to just "Mark M" NO legit payment from a court settlement would just use the Initial of my last name. It would have my complete last name. Mark M is the way my emails go out. So it seems like a scam to me.

What I really would have liked to check is the phone number that has already been truncated by the hosts.

If you have the full number, do a Google search. Does it lead to a law firm, or does it go nowhere?

I'm sorry but this is the way scammers work.

I often get emails asking for a response including my financial information. Included in the email may be a statement such as "If you have questions please contact xxx-xxx-xxxx". This contact number may be legit and is included to help convince the email recipient that the email is a valid request. There is no way I would ever provide financial information in response to an email request.

Which is why I never respond to any such email without checking its authenticity. Regardless of whether the address, phone number or other such information is correct, the next easy thing to check for fraud is the idiotic domain names they come from. Like a Gmail or Outlook account. Or the even more obvious gobbledygook return addresses you often see.

My point throughout here was that the settlement is real. The email itself? I don't know. The user needs to check that.

Brice I also received a check however they did not put my correct name on it. They wrote Catherine, even though all of my emails were signed by my real name. Check is worthless. I am waiting for them to send me one with my correct name.

I called them bc they got my name wrong. A lady actually called me back. Here is her number. But i have 2 numbers. ((That was weeks ago)) 8**-***-**43. 2**-***-**84 i think the first nimber was the one. I was also nervous this is a scam bc i have to provide her with my id now. Guess it is legit according to everyone else

Think it’s a scam. Settlement website says if you do not provide a payment account you get nothing.

Yes it’s real I just happened look at my bank account and seen I got deposit. I didn’t get no email or nothing letting me know I was getting money

The checkbook.io electronic check is legitimate. I confirmed legitimacy from two Primary resources Checkbook.io and Apple support) and have initiated the payment to my bank account.

I did the exact same thing. So far so good!

It’s legit..I received mines the same way. I got mines on the 29th and I deposited and it was in my account the next morning around 4:30am

I got an email saying my first direct deposit was received to PayPal and had no issues transferring it into another acct

I received a paper check today and it look so legit - am going to check one thing before k attempt to deposit it

I also received the same email from a .io address. Waiting to see if it is legitimate

It’s real I got the check In the mail on 2/3 for $200 also drawn on Huntington Bank , PA
