Wheeling Jesuit refund

Here’s a strange one:

I received a check for $75 from Wheeling Jesuit, a university I’ve never attended. All it says is ‘refund from fundraiser’. I e-mailed them but have not heard back yet. What would you do?

First, I’d blog about it.  Then I’d make a call, say to

Advancement Office 304-243-8141 or
1-800-888-2586

and ask to what do you owe this favor?

Or do like Kristie in a comment:

I would send the check back with a cover letter that a mistake has been made because you never contributed to a Wheeling Jesuit fundraiser.

There is so much fraud today and so many clever ways to commit it. I would hate for them to get access to your personal information for a mere $75 endeavor.

As you wish.
