The checks (we now know of 2) are a bad replica of the Official Checks of The State Bank, Michigan. The same remitter on both is: Prince Yawer Ahmed (Mubar Oil Export). They appear to be sent to legitimate sellers of items over the internet. The bank's phone number is missing, which should be below the bank's name and address in the top right corner. The two checks so far are numbers that have been previously issued. The other common denominator is the bank employee's signature. The bank believes this information was captured from a check that was issued to Global Trade Incorporation in July 2003. The bank placed a stop payment on this check, once the bank learned its customer was scammed. The customer asked the bank to put Prince Yawer Ahmed (Mubar Oil Export) as the remitter.
