Don’t cash these checks
First Keystone National Bank of Berwick, Pa. reports that counterfeit cashier’s checks bearing the bank’s name are being circulated in connection with both a lottery scam and a mystery shopper scam.
The checks usually arrive in the mail, accompanied by a letter with either the name of Security Capital Trust Financial, a lottery agent, or a mystery shopper scam from Money Op Marketing Corp. Cashing the checks could leave the recipient on the hook for the amount of the checks.
Check amounts have ranged from $3,850 to $4,850. More details are here.
