Mitsubishi Materials USA Corporation has become aware of a fraudulent scheme involving counterfeit checks purportedly issued in the name of Mitsubishi Materials. This fraudulent scheme targets sellers of goods as well as persons responding to fake job/employment postings on the Internet. (It may also take other forms.) The scheme(s) are designed to defraud innocent members of the public. The checks are not legitimate and will not be honored. Examples of the scheme that have come to our attention include:

• Counterfeit checks sent by mail as a payment for items posted/sold on a legitimate Web sites such as Craigslist, etc.
• Counterfeit checks sent by mail as a part of fake on-line job posting with instructions to deposit the check and wire transfer/remit the money back to the scammers' accounts. These jobs are not real, and neither are the checks the scammers send.

If you send money to the criminals conducting the scheme, you may sustain substantial monetary losses for which you will not be compensated or reimbursed.
