Received a Suspicious Check?
We know that many people will at some stage during the scamming process receive a check from the scammers. In the majority of cases, the scammers will request the victim to cash the check, keep an X amount and return the rest of the money to them.
We would like to inform visitors that these checks are all fraudulent checks. In many instances banking institutions might clear the check and release the funds. The victim will then send the money to the scammers. A couple of days later the bank will discover that the check was fraudulent and reverse the transaction. The victim will be held liable to repay all fees to the bank. It was also reported before that victims were arrested by authorities. Be aware, do not accept checks from a person asking you to return some of the funds. Our advice in dealing with checks is to inform the bank before hand the origin of the check. Leave the cleared funds in your account for at least 30 days before withdrawing it.

Received "Vacation Reward" and Check
Hi All. I just received a notification in the mail that I have won a Cruise for 2 to the Caribean and $50,000. Along with the notification, I received a check in the amount of $2,990.00, which is "to assist in paying the service charge and tax fees..."
While the letter came from Winston Financial Management, there is no mention of the rewarding company. There is a request to call a phone number to claim, which is in Cananda and is unlisted. The check is drawn from State Farm Fire and Casualty. While I do enter contests from time to time, my first instinct is that this is some sort of scam. Has anyone seen anything related?

What raises a flag for me is "to assist in paying the service charge and tax fees" - sounds like you will have to pay fees in order to claim prize. I cant think of any legitimate lotteries where you have to pay to claim your prize. Maybe you pay to enter, but once you win -- they should hand it over for free..

Keep it at least 30 days doesnot make the cut.The federal banking law held the depositor liable for the negotiable instrument up to 6 months .The payer's bank can claim it is counterfeit after you wire transfer the fund oversea if they are part of the counterfeit criminal ring. It is high risk to deposit any m.o or check from person or company you do not know and has no access, in this, the law is not with you.

Infiniti Global International Lotto
I got a letter and check for $2500.00 decided to call. My mother always told me if something sounds too good to be true it usually is. Well they did not ask for bank info but told me to cash the check and send them most of it to cover taxes on my winnings then after I would receive a check for my $85,000.00 well it sounded like they were moving money around for their benefit and I also checked out the bank it does exsist and the check looks good BUT......I never entered a Lottery ! Also on the check letter and envelope there were a total of 5 different addresses. They told me not to mention to my bank I won a lottery??? Wonder why! Scam written all over it. Good Luck to them I am not playing their Lottery!

counterfeit check or money order
Based on personal experience, these criminal rings are quite sophisticated group of people, majority of their counterfeits are high quality grade. it is hard for the bank to discover the fake unless after month, sometime can be later if the clearing system is overwhelmed with transaction.
So please be aware,all online users are easy targets for these dirt bags, they are flooded the market with many of their counterfeits, sometimes banks are part of the scam ring too.
