I worked for SunTrust for a year and not a day went buy that i didn't see a check like that. The scammers will get ahold of an actual SunTrust account number and cut fake checks to people claiming that all you have to do is cash said check and send $XXX back to the address on the letter after calling to verify that the check is valid. Honestly it's not a difficult scam, and the absurd thing is that people every day are getting scammed this way. Always, as soon as SunTrust is made aware of the scam the client's account is set to No debits and alerts are placed all over the account to let the cashiers know what is going on in case they miss the warning signs on the check itself.
