Walmart Financial - Sugare Kline Rec'd a letter stating I won $57,000 and a check for $3985.60 to cover admin fees. I was suspicious and looked you up online and noticed other incidents like mine. Canton Massachusetts
Rec'd a letter in the mail from Sugare Kline stating I had won $57,000 from Walmart Financial, stating to be a division of the Walmart Corporation. A check for $3985.60 was included to cover admin and clearance fees. It said participants were selected through a computerized ballot system drawn from Readers Digest, Publishers Clearing House, Online Sweepstakes, Internet Games, etc.
The letter said to call their phone number to process the check.
I called and was told to deposit the check in my acct. I said I wanted to cash it, but was told to deposit it, otherwise it wouldn't be valid. I then questioned the validity and researched online and came to your webpage.
I hope others realize this too is a scam and to please do not deposit this in their accounts.

Atlanta guy, Do you really believe that? You cannot face prison time just for depositing a check. They would have to prove that you had knowledge that the check was fraudulent at the time you deposited it. Hard to prove. No law against depositing a check that is sent to you. No law against sending someone a check, unless it is fraudulent. The crime is by the sender, NOT the recipient . Learn the law. >>> Submitted: 4/26/2008 12:33:32 PM Modified: 4/26/2008 2:28:28 PM Atlanta Guy Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A. Really ? Companies don't just send checks in the mail. All prize awards are done for ADVERTISING ! Where is the advertising in sending it in the mail ???? And secondly, WHO would use the US Mail to begin with ??? Think, please !!!!!!!!! NO ONE sends money in the mail. Cash prizes such as that are done with much fanfare and publicity. THINK, woman !!!!! You had better be glad you didn't deposit that check. A poster yesterday stated that she is facing 2 years in prison for bank fraud because she put the check in her bank, sent the money to the crook, and cannot repay. THINK ! Use your brain !!!!! >>>

The reason they don't want you to TRY and cash the check is because it would raise too many flags and the bank would call and verify that it IS a counterfeit check. If you just deposit it and withdraw a small portion, it gives the crooks more time for the scam to work and the sucker to get to western union and wire them the money before the scam comes to light and the counterfeit check is returned. What you should do if you receive one of these checks is contact your local police dept. Someday the police just might catch some of these scumbags.
