Have you received a 'suspicious check that looks for real' from Publishers Clearing House? At least one person in our area has and apparently a couple more households in the Hampton Terrace area have. The trick is they want you to deposit the check and then send a check in that amount back to the sender to cover 'processing fees'. Publishers Clearing House does not operate that way. Call TPD (231-6130) and report the check as a scam, they will have someone come by to take a report and retrieve the check from you for cases currently being processed. Thinking that it would do no harm in depositing the check, think again - it will bounce and you will pay the returned check charges.
