ever money transaction that pass through legal instituion such as bank, postal service or paypal do have service charges, they only differ on how much they charge for this service.\n\nThere are several service you can try, sending money order, like a postal check, the recipient can cash this from the post office, send a check, she can cash this from the bank, wire transfer either through bank or Western Union.\n\nThen there is the e-fund, like paypal.\n\nUsually the charges are bill at your end.

I read an article on this in www.moneysavingexpert.com. Its seems that if you make a complaint and mention 'taking legal action against them' they are willing pay you it back out of what the bank might call 'customer courtesy'. \nThe other 99 out of 100 will have paid their £50 charges. Thats not bad for the price of 100 letters plus postage at say 50p each!? Now thats a nice little earner.

Although I don't have an answer for you other than what was already posted, this is actually good information to have! I was thinking of purchasing from Target.com, but after reading this apparent scam they have, I will take my business elsewhere. Thanks for asking the question and giving me some much needed insight about this companys tactics.

It is a scam! Do not cash any cashiers checks you recieve from people like that. What they do is have you cash their cashiers check thru your bank and then send them so much of the money. The cashiers checks are fake and when the bank they are supposed to be issued from denies the charge then you are out that money! BEWARE!!!!!

We just received the same check.  What have you done regarding this check.  I can't find anything out either.  Our check had the same amount and post-it saying thanks.

then tell him to mail it to you, IF they say there is a "processing fee" tell them to go fucj themselves.\n\nIf they do mail it to you, deposit, and WAIT until the check actually clears your account.\n\nThe other option is to call the police in the area code and ask them if they are aware of this company, also the Better Business Bureau.

STOP...  it's a total SCAM!!!  Don't do it.  the key is they say u bring 600 Canadian $$$.  Find a direct # to the location then call to verify all the infomation.  If you do anything... don't send them the money, you'll be out 600 Canandian $$$.

If you have never bounced a check with this bank before call them and bitch about it, first offense they usually remove it. Otherwise it can be 5 cents and they will charge you. and the going charge is about that. Balance that book every month and don't ever let it get so low again because the vultures will get ya.

No, but its not very sensible as you are continuing to mount up interest charges.  Contact them and see if you can come to some arrangement which will make it easier to pay.  \nDONT IGNORE IT ANY LONGER!!!!

If the "job" has anything to do with receiving checks from their "customers" here in North America and forwarding the money on to them, it is a scam.  The checks will bounce but only after you wire the money out and the bank will hold you liable.

Its a Scam, later on they will ask you to open a bank account in some country and for that they will ask you for some opening balance and stuff. All loss and no gain. My article below for full details.

It's simple, you just take the amount of money to a bank or the post office (I think the post office has a limit as to how much they'll do the money order for, and the bank will probably charge you more in fees).  They'll charge you a fee, and write you up a little slip of paper that looks like a cheque with the amount you paid on it.\n\nYou just fill out the details on the money order and it's all done!

Listen if it is not a straight foward payment and send, do not bother. It sounds like more of a hassle to me than anything.\n\nGood Luck!

Thank you! I have been trying to make this same point! They cannot apply for tax returns so they lose all that money! Where do most of the people on this website get their info from?

You might have to go to an International Bank, and show proof of identification. Banks normally charge a higher fee to convert money

Listen, I received a check a couple of days ago too. I took it to a check cashing place and asked them if it was a real check and they said yes and cashed it for me. However I didn't understand the letter very well. I called the number several times with no answer. Finally the next day I called again and a man answered with an accent and told me to go cash the check and call him back and he would tell me the next step to take.  I was scared so I notified a friend of mine in Canada and he told me that it is a scam. Now I'm not sure what to do...

Its a scam!!!!  The check appears to clear, you take the money out, then the bank discovers the cheque is fradulent and wants the money back...FROM YOU!!!   \nDO NOT hand over any money.  Phone your bank and explain to them, they will investigate and you can bet your last jellybaby that they will come back with the news that this is a fraud.
