Never heard of them. If they are saying anythign along the lines of "send us an admin fee" or "send us your account details so we can process it" then it is most likely a scam!\nThey are very common where you get emails or notifications saying that you have some money owed.\n\nIf on the other hand you have a physical paper cheque in your hands then go ahead and pay it in!\n\nAll banks are regulated by the Financial Services Authority so they will be able to tell you if it is a legal UK registered bank

hi,\n\nthere is a bit about cheque fraud on this page:\nhttp://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Laws/Canada/criminal_laws.htm\n\nthis page from the mounties\nhttp://www.rcmp-learning.org/iim/ecdi1018.htm\ndiscusses it further:\n\n-----\n\nAt this point we should divert for a few moments and discuss the issue of NSF cheques. This is one of the most common false pretence offences you will encounter and it would be well to clarify that issue now.\n\nRead Sub-section 362(4) of the Criminal Code of Canada.\n\nYou probably noted that this sub-section is designed specifically to deal with NSF cheques. It places the onus of proof on the person writing the cheque, to show reasonable belief at the time of writing, that the cheque would have been honoured. This "reverse onus" takes effect the instant it is dishonoured due to insufficient funds.\n\nThis is a controversial issue which has been challenged (R. v. Driscoll (1987), 38 CCC (3d) 28 Alt, Ca).  Some courts have deemed it to be a violation of the constitutional rights, contrary to Sub-section 11(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees presumption of innocence until proven guilty.\n\nThe Canada Evidence Act (Section 29), provides authority to obtain documentary evidence of "no funds", or "NSF" cheques. \n\n------\n\nanother link:\nhttp://www.lawyers.ca/dharris/articles/fraudrevistedpartiii.htm\n\n\nalso, be aware that in the US, it is NOT considered criminal to write an NSF check for a DEBT:\nhttp://www.ckfraud.org/penalties.html\n\ni don't know about canada.  probably best to ask a lawyer; most will give you a free 1-hr consultatoin.  keep in mind that since it's such a small amount ($100) you are unlikely to get the officials interested in pressing charges.  it's possible though.  i think small claims court is probably your best bet.

At a financial institution, collected checks are are taken to a check sorter or MICR encoder.  This is a machine that prints MICR numbers at the bottom of each check for easy reading/processing by the Federal Reserve which clears the checks.  (You already have MICR numbers on checks:  Your routing and account number.  But, the MICR encoder will add additional numbers, specifically, the amount of the check.)\n\nThis is a largely mechanical process now, but there generally still is at least one person at the helm of a check sorter (the operator) to ensure the machine runs smoothly, jams are cleared, ensures the checks run through balance with the deposits declared, etc.

No it is not like a money order. They are cheques issued by credit card and charge card companies and banks etc which enable the holder to obtain cash or pay for goods and services when visiting a foreign country. \n\nThe cheques are signed by the traveller on their receipt and again when payment is being made. They are covered against loss provided the issuing company is notified within a specified period.\n\nTravellers Cheques are one of the easiest and safest ways to carry money/currency overseas. The most popular TC currency would be the US dollar. TC's are very safe as a thief would have to forge you signature AND provide a document verifying that signature. They are very common and easy to get from any bank or ask your local travel agent. The most populat TC's are Visa and Mastercard as they are the most widely used and recognised.

I don't the the question is about criminal liability although clearly if it was percieved you were involved in the fraud knowingly you could face charges.\n\nThe money can be taken back from your account at any point, as it may go several weeks / months before the cheque is discovered to be counterfeit. (i.e. whenever the account holder gets his statement and spots it, rings the bank and they trace the account into which it was paid from the document handler line on the back). At that point you will lose the money!\n\nMost of the Banks are wise to the number of forgeries out there, as are companies in the IT sector receiving large orders from Nigerian businessman, who then pay with a UK cheque! \n\nIf ever in doubt get your bank to check it out for you. They are your best hope.

It works just like a regular check, just ask how they want it made out. A person's name or if it is a small business how they need it made out. They can cash or deposit it just like any other check.

I think you mean MICR. MICR stands for magnetic ink character recognition. It allows the bank to read the numbers at the bottom of your check (check number, account number, routing number) using a machine.

When A deposits a cheque in to his account in the bank for local collection.then it is sent through clearing for claiming money from the concerned bank by the bank in which A deposited a cheque for crediting to his account.After getting money from that bank A`s bank will credit the amount to A`s account.Normally banks do not allow you to withdraw the money before three days from the day it was deposited.We can also say after collection of money from the concerned up to next day you are not allowed to withdraw the money.The bank thinks that in case the cheque comes back with objection they will be in trouble,that is why they do not allow you to withdraw for three days.The total procedure may take 3-4 days.

A check is your personal check, where the money will be taken out of your account.\nA bank draft can be thought of as a 'bank's check', i.e. money will be paid by the bank who redeems the draft. This is very similar to money-order for practical purpose. The bank therefore takes the money in advance from the person who issues a draft and in return gives a 'bank check/draft' for that amount.\nDraft is therefore more reliable form of accepting payment as the personal check may bounce, but the draft will not.

To buy travellers cheques, you must have either cash or credit card and you buy them just like you buy gift cards/certificates.\n\nYou can get them in different denominations, usually $20, $50, and maybe $100. \n\nDepending upon where you plan to travel, it costs money to cash these cheques.  If in the USA or Canada, not usually a fee or a small fee. If in Europe, it's a fairly significant fee and you can't cash them very many places.\n\nI travelled from Canada to Italy recently and I took my credit card and my Interac bank card.  I easily withdrew cash from Interac on three separate occasions while in Italy in different cities, and I used Interac to make purchases. \n\nIf you travel out of country be sure to tell your bank of your plan to travel so they can "open up" the account to recognize you may be in a different country for a certain date range.\n\nHad I not been able to get cash, I would have used my credit card for my purchases.  However, I did find some stores in Italy did not wish to accept either credit or Interac but didn't say they didn't, they had make-shift signs that said the lines were down...which was absolutely untrue.

Why don`t you try one of the building societies, some of them have `current a/cs ` where you can have a cheque book but can only write out cheques to the value of the a/c, I am not sure exactly how it works, they may counter-sign the cheques. Sorry I am not very helpful. Ring them up and get details.
