If Pamela deposits the check it will be accepted into her bank account. She will then wire money to the scammer. Within a few days the check she deposited will be identified as no good. These are usually bank checks stolen from some company which is why they seem to have no association with the scammer's "company". The money she wired will never be seen again and the bank will file fraud charges against her. In most cases the money wired seriously depletes a bank account and creates all kinds of problems for the scammed person. If you can't stand to throw away checks at least deposit it and wait until it completely clears before sending any money anywhere and NEVER wire money. In 99 44/100% of the time these sweepstakes scams are just scams. They all work the same way.
