This morning I cashed a $150 check at my local bank but they mistakenly deposited $3000 into my savings account. I'm rich, I'M RICH!!....(sigh)..yeah, I know I have to notify them of their mistake. I'll do it tomorrow. Just let me enjoy my new found wealth for at least one day. Let me dream for awhile........

They tried to take out my mortgage payment 2 days early, and they charged me a NSF charge and a Late Charge, when the money was put in the correct day, and I had to notify them the day my mortgage was due and asked why my balance was off by $19.00. They say it was some kind of computer error. of course it would never be there error.\n\nThis happened 8 more times durning my 5 year mortgage with them.\n\nIt also took 2-3 months before they refunded my account the $19.00 and to rebalanced my mortgage accordingly.\n\nJust because banks have some fancy Business Degree, they still need to held accountable for work.  Like Mom use to say: Watch you pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.

Yep, contact the person in charge of human resources at your local office, at the regional office and headquarters. The next thing to do is call the police and get it on file that you are claiming theft of our check. That way, if someone did take it and cash it, you will still have a chance to get it back. Do it now!!!  If that check is already cashed, there is probably little you can do, other than call a lawyer which would probably cost more than your check is worth.

I never go in banks either if I can get out of it .. It is almost as bad as going to get your car tags. I hate checks that have that statment on them and will send them back and demand payment  with out that restrection on them or auto deposit. But again they don't have me bent over because I don't need their money, just that its mine and I want it. You should not have  to jump through hoops for them. I guess you have to have their money to live so you can't fight with them for a month or two. Sounds like you are bent over. lol

I got one of those last month - from someplace in Canada, although the bank in question was in Idaho or North Dakota or someplace like that. It is a "snail mail" version of those emails that go around trying to convince you that you've won the Irish Lottery or something. I did some research online and this is a fraud. And since it was sent through the mail, it is actually mail fraud. The website I read said that I should take the letter to  my postmaster and report it - but I've been too lazy to do that. The post office is closed by the time I get home, and only open till noon on Saturdays. I feel bad though for those, especially the elderly, who buy into this. The letter I received actually said I was to send the entire $4grand or whatever it was back to them to pay for "administrative costs". Yea, right. And in the meantime, they get my banking information from the check I send them and they can steal my identity!

I think you have a legitimate complaint. How did they get you banking information to begin with?  I think if you authorize them to take money out of your account they should have your voice recorded giving them permission to take out the $600.00, on whatever date it is they took it out on. Get your information from the bank and call them back and turn the tables on them and ask them who gave them authorization to take the money out on this date, and that you want proof of it. You will be coming in for the proof and taking it to your attorney to review. If you are able to pick it up don't tell them you are going to your attorney until they hand over the proof. Also, ask them to highlight where you gave them permission to take this  extra $600.00. If you ask for the proof and they can't come up with it they will have to put it back in your account immediately. Make sure you tell them so. If they won't put the money back into your account and they give you a paper that is showing proof that you didn't authorize you will have to get an attorney. I hope not but they can't get away with doing things like this. Also, threaten to call the local newspaper and tell them what they did. See how they like that. You could also call the police and ask them if you have any recourse with this company. Usually going on the news scares the daylights out of them because it hurts their business.

I recieved the same letter, I checked it out at the bank first had them call Chase, the check is not valid. I also called the number on the letter two nights ago at 10:23pm and was surprised when the answer I got was "What the f*ck are you doing calling so late, don't you knwo what time it is" "click" It is a scam just frame the check in the "wish it was" frame and go back to our pathetic lives

They made a mistake at the bank, it happens all the time. Just take it back to the bank and explain the situation. They'll issue you a new one.

RIIIIIIIIIGGGHHHTTTTTTTTT! I just BET you ARE...\n\nDon't worry! There's LOTS of STUPID PEOPLE here that will send you money! (Unfortunately for you, I'm not one of them....)

Don't do it!!!! They charge really high interest.  If you had to write a check out of your personal account for them to hold until you can pay, they can cash that check as soon as your agreed upon time to pay has passed.  They do NOT have to tell you before they do it.  Then, not only do you have their stupid fees, you also have a charge from your bank for a returned check!!!!

Thank you for asking this!!  I don't see what the big deal is, either.  Any of us could pull off his gig...  Hopefully he's putting his cash in a 401K or something so when his 15 minutes are up, he'll have something to fall back on!

I can't BELEIVE that ANYONE could be silly enough to even cash a check from someone on the web! You should have had it cashed at the person's own bank or called their bank to see if the money was there...

I know a guy who gave his wife $ 75,000 cash on Monday. He pulled $ 5000 from the stack and deposited 1/2 of that in the bank. Spent the other 1/2. \n\nTuesday, the guy puts it inside a plastic crate & padlocks it for security. He leaves town for 3 days.\n\nBy Friday, wifey can't stand being locked out from the cash and cuts the box. Inside was a carefully taped together stack of color copies of $100 bills. \n\nWife is furious! Brings the photo copies to police to "prove" there used to be all that cash.\n\nPolice say husband having $ 75,000 cash is not a crime...But YOU could be in trouble for carrying around all this counterfit money.\n\nI'm just glad I didn't have to bail her out of jail!

The only Nigerian small business that I know about might not even be Nigerian.  It's something about a bank closing or funds moving and this guy wants me to move the money to the US where it will supposedly be safer and I will get a cut of the money if I just open up my bank account so they can deposit all the the millions and millions of dollars.  It sounded like embezzling though, so I lost interest...

What you should do is notify the bank.  The fact that they cashed this forged check puts them on the line. They paid money that should not have been paid. \nCriminally, it depends on the evidence, and it could be a while before anything happens.  That's why I would speed it up by notifying the bank.

Let's see, I woke up to two screaming kids, this morning, made them breakfast, checked my emails..(cuz ya never know)\nAnswered yahoo questions for a few hours, took a shower, read and pondered over an insufficiant funds notice,(how the heck did THAT happen) dropped my daughter off for an interview, went to the bank to deposit a few checks, found out I was still in the negative, ran back home to get the other checkbook, drove back to the bank to deposit more (that one did it) picked up my daughter from her interview, took her to the liscence branch to see what she needed to get her permit, stopped at Dairy Queen so she could buy herself a banana split, went back home and made the kids some lunch, watched my husband on the computer, had him check my emails again (cuz you never know, as usual) started a load of laundry, watched my daughter chat with her boyfriend online (family friends) made dinner, back to yahoo answers, (and waited for emails,) sent kids to bed, talked to my friend on the phone, back to yahoo answers, answered a bunch of questions, came across your question, gave a VERY lengthy answer for you, now I'm getting ready to submit my answer, hoping to god that when I click that button, I don't find out that you've removed it!!!

It's a typical scam.. Good thing you checked it out first before you went nuts and lost your money.  Face it, NO ONE is going to just up and send you a check in the mail for no reason.  This is scam city big time.
