I have a hard time believing that anyone would think they have won a lottery and get a check and get involved with making phone calls to someone out of the country and willing to put up money to get money much less taking a check to the bank and a bank employee making a statement that the check is "good".
People need to use some God-Giving sense and know that nothing is free. The scam is that you deposit a check regardless if it is a cashiers check or corporate check...you deposit it...it is a forgery and will most likely hang up in the system and your bank at some point will denote that it has "cleared" when it has not. Once the company reconciles, their bank will be notified that the check is a forgery and it will in turn be "charged back" to your bank and they "you" will be charged back.
Get real. Use common sense. Don't try to get sometime for nothing or YOU will be the one taken to the cleaners!
