Terry Says

If you didn’t apply for benefits, it is very likely part of a scam.
The first thing you should do is follow all the instructions in this article: https://www.terrysavage.com/identity-theft-update/

Check your credit report at all three bureaus and FREEZE your credit.

The second thing you should do is dial 1-800-CALL FBI and report the receipt of this check. They will definitely follow up. Let me know what happens. You may have intercepted a fraud — or you may inadvertently be PART of a fraud.
