Legal Question in Banking Law in California

Free Check

I recently received a check made out to me in the amount of $3000.00 , which was UPS to me overnight, there is no letter or documentation stating who it is from. The check is a business check from a company that I have never visited. If I cashed it would there be any legal ramifications. The check is real and from out of state.
