How do I verify a cashiers check from Peoples Bank?

From counterfeit cashiers checks to sweepstakes and lottery winnings, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you didn't expect to receive a cashiers check, you can learn to recognize legitimate solicitations from those who aren't. Find out more at The Federal Trade Commission Consumer Advise Website.
