HI, I wanted to let you guys know...I got a check today from Beverly Hills Grants for $4950. The check is authenic, drawn on the Union Bank of CA, upon calling the Union Bank of CA to verify that the check was real: The only thing wrong with the check is a "tiny" problem....
The Union Bank of California routing number IS 122000496 as identified on the check. The check was drawn on a TYLER WILLIAMS III, of which they have 17 accounts......YAHOO!!! SOUNDING GREAT SO FAR!!!
The Union Bank of CA account number of 499040370 is missing a digit, their account numbers are TEN digits not nine!
I have contacted the US Postal service Inspector (mail fraud), my daughter told me to send them an email-which I did... I did have a great time devising it-so their letter did bring me a ray of laughter today!

Hi, Thank you so much for obtaining a grant for me. Unfortunately, the check that you sent has the wrong account number on it. Union Bank of California accounts all have 10 digits, this check only has a nine digit account number (499040370). I am sure that it is a misprint, and wanted to let you know of this problem.
I will be happy to send you the money for obtaining this grant for me, as soon as we get this account misinformation straightened out.
Thank you again for your help,
Pam
