Here is one story I saw about it. This happened to us too.
On October 13, 2016 I got an email from a Edward Gonzalez [email protected]
Hello,
My name is Edward, i will like to make a donation on behalf of my wife who recently passed away. It was a hard time watching her struggle and fight through cancer. i would like to use this opportunity to help others in need or towards a good cause to help find a cure for others struggling with cancer.
I will await your response.
Regards
Edward Gonzalez
In subsequent emails he said he was going to send us a $12,000 donation.
FedEx overnight package with tracking number 8106 1568 1686 from California
Return Address: Colleen Kennedy Lascone phone 800 862-8721
145 Highland, CA 97346. The envelope was dropped off at the Pacific Palisades, CA FedEx office at 6pm. Bank Check from Citizens Bank for $35,850.72 and nothing else was enclosed. He called and emailed to confirm we got the donation and advised us to deposit it and let him know when It was deposited and to send a tax letter for the donation.
The check looked good but what was off is that the bank routing number started with a 5 when most start with a 0,1 or 2. The bank routing number was also up in the upper right hand corner where the check number should have been. There was no bank address on the check and the amount of the check was not in numbers on written out. Called the bank, which does not have any branches in California, and emailed a scan of the check. It is a forgery.
At the *** ** *** Board Meeting on Monday night I told the Board Members about what was going on and *** said the exact same thing was happening to *** *** *** ** ** *** *** and their *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** * *** *** *** *** *** *** Same Edward Gonzalez and same check amount.
The next morning, I told him I deposited it. As soon as I told him that he was asking for the donation letter. Told him I was getting on a cruise and would be back and write the tax letter in 5 days. Then he wrote this:

We have a fundraiser coming up this Saturday night. Someone got into the event page and messaged everyone that the event was cancelled.
FoxTV in Tampa was contacted and both *** and I have done interviews. At one point calling Edward at which time he hung up. Susan deposited the check she received but figured it out and called her bank. The FOC check was not deposited.
