Hello Pinnela and thank you for your question.  I’m sorry I lost your original post but I hope my answer will help

These checks are popping up all over in many different forms.  In my experience, About Face will never ask you do print a check, cash it and send the funds back to them Western Union.  This is a BIG SCAM!  The check is fake and I have heard of people going to jail for doing this for a “company”.  I would report this to About Face directly (877.770.8585) so they can alert other shoppers of this new scam.  If you still have the email I would forward it to About Face as well.  Remember, any time someone asks you to cash a check and mail them a portion of it, it is a scam.  The banks will hold you responsible for not only the funds but also report you for trying to cash a fake check – that’s jail time!  Let me know what About Face says and I will pass the alert on to others.  

Thansk!
