Suck It, Doubters

So, I'm sure you've all heard of the Microsoft forwarding "scam." The setup is that for every time you forward a test e-mail, you get five cents or seven cents or whatever and then it compounds down the line. Sounds crazy, right? I agreed. However, notice both my tense (agreed) and scam in quotation marks. Why? One day a few weeks ago, when I got such an e-mail, I thought "why not, what can it hurt," sent it along and promptly forgot about it... Until the other day when this showed up (sorry the photo kind of sucks it was with my phone--I wanted to make sure the "important" part was readable):

I come home from work to find an overnight FedEx waiting for me with a cool $3500 check inside. Since I had never heard of the company name on the check, I naturally did some sleuthing (yeah Moe, I sleuthed my butt off on this one) and it turns out that this company was the firm that handled the tracking and everything for this e-mail project of Microsoft. Yeah, it's legit--talked to the bank and everything is good. What up now, Snopes?
