    1. First, take the check to a bank (preferably the one the check is written from) ask if it's a fake check. When they verify that it's fake, take the check to the local authorities with the UPS folder/envelop it came in. Let them know what happened and tell them you want to make a report. This will help you with any further issues you may have. Good luck to you.
