I recieved a check for the amount of $2, 997.90 drawn off of a company in Walterboro SC. I called the number that was on the "Winning Certificate" to verify that the check was real, the gentleman told me to deposit it into my bank account and then call him back to get further instructions, I then replied, "I don't have a bank account, can I just cash it? " he then replied, "sure, you can cash it, then call me back and I will give you the futher instructions", so I went to Wachovia Bank to cash it, the teller ran the check through the verifier and it came back as fraudulant. I then called the company that the check was drawn off to let them know that I had recieved the check and what amount, the lady that I spoke to told me that I was not the only person that has recieved this and to just disregard the check.
I'm really glad that I did not deposit the check into my bank account, my husband and I are on disability and cannot afford for some idiot to take us for all the money that we do and don't have.
