DO NOT CASH THEM!!!!  They're a scam & end up costing you big bucks in the end...potentially even legal action.  I worked for a major bank for about 5 years until last year and you would not believe the number of people that actually do these things & then get taken for big, big bucks.  Destroy it -- if you can opt out of whatever website it came from, do it, but otherwise, be extremely cautious!  Same goes for "phishing" emails or phone calls you may get asking you to provide confidential info such as ssn, bank acct info, addy, etc -- they'll claim to be your bank, but you're setting yourself up for deep trouble.  Major monetary & identity theft.

Please do not deposit or cash that check. Your bank will accept it at first, but then you will be charged a bounced check fee. I got one a few months back....and we really needed that money. I went to speak to the ladies at my bank. Before they processed the check they checked it out for a few days. Needless to say it was fraudulent. If you have an awesome bank like me, try the same approach, but it is unlikely that it is real.

I got almost a dozen of these bad checks. I got most of it when I was selling my 2 cars in Creg list and myinformation was there, and they try to buy your sold item for more than the value you sell it for the shipping expenses and the effort you do but when I deposited ne of them in my bank it returned back for stop payment although I verfied with the sender's bank all the sender information It's Scam and even some of them has correct information but I think It's stolen identity
So my advice don't beleive it and don't try to deposit it in your bank account you'll get nothing you'll just pay the expenses of the returned checks
