Important information

  • Additional Info:
    Since February 2022, BBB received Scam Tracker submission(s) reporting that Holiday Cash Program is sending out unsolicited checks using the BBB logo.

    BBB found that mail was returned as undeliverable from the St. Petersburg address, and is still attempting to locate additional information to verify who is sending the checks.


    Here are two tips about fake check fraud:

    1. Having the funds credited to a bank account does not mean the cashed check is valid.
    Federal banking rules require that when someone deposits a check into an account, the bank must make the funds available right away - within a day or two. But the bank also has the right to recover the money from the account holder if the check is counterfeit. It is only when the check works its way back to the bank that supposedly issued the check that it is discovered to be counterfeit.

    2. Cashier's checks and postal money orders can be forged.
    A cashier's check is a check guaranteed by a bank, drawn on the bank's own funds and signed by a cashier. Cashier's checks are treated as guaranteed funds because the bank itself, rather than the individual account holder, is responsible for paying the amount of the check. Cashier's checks are commonly required for real estate and brokerage transactions. If a person deposits a cashier's check, the person's bank must credit the account by at least $5000 the next day. The same holds true for postal money orders.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
