I received an offer to \"evaluate\" a western union. They sent me a very real looking check from Luxottica through Bank of America. The address they gave me was 1513 W 132ND ST
GARDENA, CA 90249. I googled this and it is a shady looking storefront. I am not wiring them the money unless the check clears!

Your check may 'clear' (the funds may become available in your bank) only to later 'bounce' due to a good faith agreement with your bank. Some 9esp. foreign) checks can take up to two weeks to clear. Don't send any money by Western Union (The Scammer's Best Friend).
