I recieved a cashiers check in the amount of 3900.00 to pay the taxes on a consumer reward lottery I supposedly won. I did not call them I waited till monday and went to my bank desperate for money my husband and I decided to put 2900.00 in savings 500.00 in checking and 500.00 in cash to get school clothes and groceries. Then when the time came we would put the money back for taxes.
My bank ran the check and it cleared water marks, security checks but because I was in the whole in my bank because I did pay a couple of bills beforehand. The machine did not read it as a cashiers check and wanted to hold it for 5 days, I almost said go ahead but instead the teller and I decided to call the bank Huntington National Bank out of Columbia Ohio I was told then it was fake.
I took the check called the bank and explained I had not made that all important phone call and maybe they could catch them if they pretended to be me. The person on the phone took the information but I dont think she realized how devastating this was to me. We have had around 9 deaths in our family and other disasters in the last 5 years I am unable to work and my disability was thru Jefferson Pilot who screwed me over without paying so I cannot get disability or work. We barely squeeze by. It was a prayer answered in the form of a cruel hoax. Jokes on me for the 2nd time this week.
