Notice the 's' misspell in authorization?
I didn't even bother trying to call them. I called the bank (American Chartered Bank) at 847-517-5400 and found out that the check is a fraud as well as the company on the check and the company that sent the check.
Be aware: THE BANK SAID TO FILE A POLICE REPORT WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND TURN OVER THE CHECK AND LETTER. I reccommend that you do so as well, but make copies of both documents and the back of the check too.
