Complaint Review: Inter-Global-Lotto-Mark Woods - Plattsburgh New York

Folks. I was talking about cashing the check for $1,998.00. (I have the funds to cover it). I was then going to sit on it for about 2 weeks. If the bank said nothing well then I made $1,998.00. If they called me on it I could just give it back. I guess I thought that I wouldn't be doing anything wrong. Afterall the check was given to me right? However after some more thought and your advice I have decided to just forget the whole thing,rip the check up and move on happy in the knowledge that maybe I did something for this "Mark Woods" that begins to put him on the right path. By the way I am not "money hungry nor am I greedy. Just human. Thanks for all your advice.----Rob

There are none so blind as those who will not see. OR LISTEN!!!! The OP writes: "out of nowhere he says...."Ok you know what remember when you mentioned God? I said yes and said" THIS A SCAM AND THAT HE COULD NOT DO THIS ANYMORE....AND THEN HUNG UP. I am cashing the check to see what happens anyway." Greed is a real problem for you. You are TOLD "this is a scam", but you are so money-hungry that you're going to cash the check anyway "to see what happens". However much pleasure you derive from telling your mom and kids about winning money, it's going to be triple that in humiliation and embarrassment when you owe the bank a huge amount of money, and have to tell your loved ones that your greed is why theres no Christmas this year, or a 100 other things you wont have money for, now. Remember, you wouldn't be out this money except that someone TELLS YOU IT'S A SCAM, and yet, you can't resist trying to get money you are in no way entitled to, in any event, just to see what happens. If you decide to be "careful", and let the check sit at the bank for 10 days or something, to clear, guaranteed five days later is when it will come back as a fraudulent check.

hi robert, I'm not sure what kind of balances you keep at your bank, but you said you are going to cash the check anyway to see what happens? First off your bank probably won't hand over that much cash to you unless you have enough in your account to cover the transaction. And if you do happen to have that much money sitting in your account...(plz tell me what job you do, and i'll be sure to get into that business, lol) No seriously, if your bank decides to give you cash, They will have to file a CTR. A special report done on any incoming or outgoing cash transaction of over $10,000.00. I don't think your bank will like it very much to see this check get returned. You do know that if you take cash and the check is returned, it will be recourse against your account, right? The bank would be able to sue you if you aren't able to pay back that amount. They could get a judgment on you and all kinda stuff. I would just shred that check, or otherwise if you are going to try to cash it...take it to the bank it is drawn off us. But primarily, I still say shred the check.

DON'T DEPOSIT THAT CHECK!!!! Throw it away and move on! It's a scam and you know it- do you remember entering that lottery? Of course not because you didn't! Nobody just gives money away. You came here so you KNOW there's something wrong. Trust your gut!
