There was a time when you could call the bank and read off the numbers and they'd tell you whether the account was real and whether there was enough in the account to cover the check. I haven't done that in 20 years, but I'd give it a shot. SunTrust's number is 800.786.8787.
Also, my daughter's SunTrust checks have some security features, including a faint "Original Document" on the back that apparently won't photocopy. If the check you got doesn't have them, I'd be skeptical.
