Arrived by mail a letter stating that I have won third prize in PUBLISHERS INTERNATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES held on such and such date along with an entry number, winning numbers, and a reference number. My prize $100,000.00.
Here's the kicker.With the letter is a Cashier's Check from Frost Bank in San Antonio Texas, in the amount of $2950.50. The check is all printed out just like an official cashier's check. Thebank it is drawn on is real.
The"STING" deposit the check in your account and call the Claims Agent andshe will tell you where to send the money so they can start the claimand remittance process fo your prize.She will tell you the above check has been processed against the $100,000. Itcovers processing fees and taxes.
THE CHECK IS NOT REAL I called the bank in San Antonio and they have not issued any Cashier's Check with the number that appears on the check that I received.
I am curious if my bank will cash or deposit the check in my account. I will try to deposit itand let you know what happens.

Bad idea.

"I will try to deposit itand let you know what happens."
Knowingly depositing a fraudulent check is not smart. It can get you arrested in many jurisdictions. You know the check is bogus, so what explanation would you have for attempting to deposit it other than an attempt to defraud the bank.

...if you deposit the check, most banks will "clear" it in two days or less. The problem is...most people including bank "experts" do not understand what the term "clear" means.
What will happen is the funds will be credited to your account. If you do nothing, then there is no problem. Eventually when the check is determined to be fraudulent..which is 100%, no doubt, going to happen..the funds will be taken out.
If however you spend against it, you will not only be responsible to cover it..but any fees resulting as well, and even subject yourself to a possible check fraud violation. Not worth it. Toss it in the trash where it belongs.

Do not deposit this check its a scam. You do not have to pay anything if you win a prize . My advise is tear the check up and throw it out
