Maybe someone out there can help me.  I received a check in the mail from Ahold Delhaize company.  They supposedly own supermarkets.  Anyway, I received a check for a small amount, less than $10, in the mail, and I have no idea what it's for.  I didn't send in any promotional offers, nor have I had any issues with any products, and I haven't made any phone calls to any consumer hotlines.  My supermarket, Stop & Shop, doesn't know what it's about either.  There was an accompanying paper with the check, but it just had the amount of the check and my name.  Anybody know something about this?  Thank you!

Call the company and ask?  It's odd that there's no letter of explanation.  Do they do some kind of recall of a product that you might not be aware of?

As I said, simplest thing is to call the company direct.

@Bubby Mommy , I have not heard of this but I wouldn't try to cash it! There are so many scams out there. Without answers that make sense, I would just set it aside.

it may be worth a call to corporate.  I know they had data breach a while back.  It says online to be aware of checks mailed.  They are real, but can be by by scammers.  Because once you cash it, they can get info from your bank acct

I wouldn't call the number on the check. I would look it up and call. You can't trust anyone anymore.

They own Stop and Shop, Food lion and quite a few others.

@Qgirl26 - That's exactly what I meant.  Call the number listed on the Ahold Delhaize website.

Wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

Discard it.

It's a settlement check for the company's data breach.

I would rip it up and discard it.  Do not deposit it into your bank account.  It's a scam, once you deposit it, they will have access to your account.

For an amount of less than $10.00, it's not worth the effort!
