I was surprised, it was not a scam

Like many people, I check social media on my phone in between other activities. Bob was driving us towards the stores after church yesterday, and I got a message request on Facebook messenger. The message said "I work at North Dillons, and we have your checkbook." I checked the profile on the person, who had a longish foreign language name. It said she was a content creator. I was tempted to ignore or deny the message, but we were near that store, so I went in to customer service. The only checkbook that we had missing had been gone for the most part of a year. It was on a new account at the time that we use only for savings and emergencies. I replaced it when I could not find it, thinking it would show up in my messy house. The person working customer service went to the back. She came back and asked for my name and ID. They did have my long lost check book, the person in the message does work there and they had decided to go through lost and found. I never had checked there because I do not write checks there and did not think of it. The only check we had written was last July, to our county courthouse. She went to some trouble to find me on Facebook. My phone number is not on the checks. That started my week with good news.
