Lotto/ north american sweepstakes?

Question

i git this check in the mail it looked real we contacted the lady on the paper she said she would talk to her manager and make sure the check would clear we told her that our bank said it was a scam she said the reason most of the checks bounce is because people just try to cash them with out contacting them. anyways we went to ripoff report .com and found several things on this company.. but no one is actually losing any money if they let the check clear.. it just gets me that these people would do this for 3200 dollars.so what if the check clear and we keep the money? what can they do we have no money in that account.....only 1 person actually sent the money on rip off report.com

Answer 1

If you put the check in your bank your bank will freeze your bank accounts.

The check is fake.It might pass your banks initial checks and your bank might "honour" the check.

A check is not "cleared" until it is approved by the issuing bank.

When the check is honoured...you have access to the money.Once it is found to be fake,your bank will close your accounts and make you pay back the money.

Its like playing Russian roulette with a semiautomatic

Answer 2

SCAM! There is NO lotto/North AmericanSweepstakes!

Do not deposit the check you get from them.  They will have your bank account number and other personal information.  You did NOT win anything.  It's a SCAM!

Don't belive what she said about the check clearing, it is part of their scam, to make you think you will get something.  Please, don't get ripped-off by this con game.

Answer 3

It is a scam, don't believe it and don't be stupid enough to deposit the check.
