It's probably a marketing scam!  Watch out!\n\nLook very carefully at the back of the check.  You will see wording to the effect that if you cash the check, you are agreeing to something. \n\nThey use this method to con people into signing memberships or other nonsense.  Look the check over VERY carefully.

If he is getting paid in euro's it will be a lot more difficult, but you could try contacting the US consulate for guidance (google for consulate contact info). If he is working for a US company and paid in dollars you should just contact the state Child Support Enforcement Agency that your support case was filed in and give them his current location and the name of the employer if you know it. They can do a lot with a little information and a lot of follow up (pressure) from you.

It doesn't look like they have one.  Not all small i-banks have them, especially if they're just a boutique firm.  Call them up if you want more information about them.

There's an Ameritrust Financial Group.  You need to call them and find out what the problem is.  If they can't give you a straight answer or say they've never receivec the $200 turn them in to the Better Business Bureau.  Do you have records for the money you sent; cancelled check, etc.?  You'll need that.  Search the internet for the BBB that services the area where you sent it to.  Then go to their website and you can file an online claim about it.  If you used a money order or similar, go to the place where you got it and have them check their records to see if it was ever cashed.

For my kids' Quarter Midgets, we usually ask local businesses that we patronize.  Some of them are large distribution companies that my husband deals with through his work.  I know you need cash on a larger scale, but think about larger industries & companies in your area.

It seems it could be a Ponzi scheme: http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/business/13846303.htm

Tell her to immediately get on the phone and report that information to child support enforcement without delay!! Also make sure she doesn't mention that she is interested in finding out if the support cvan be garnished from it to the child's father because he may try to hide it or be more secretive. Tell her prior to calling try to find out from him who the insurance compnay is that he sued, that way when she contacts enforcement they will know what insurance agency to contact to put a garnish on it. I know it can be done, because my ex husband was hit by a car as a pedestrian and he was warded money. They took it and because he has such a history of not paying they even took out a year's worth of ADVANCE payments. Hopefully there is still some time before the insurance company pays to allow for enforcement to contact the insurance agency and to allow for them to get the petition to granish over to a judge to get signed. She needs to take advantage of this quickly before he gets that check and cashes it and it's too late for her to lay claim. If for some reason your state doesn't allow support to be garnished from a settlement, which I don't see why not, then she needs to make sure once she knows he has endorsed that check that she stays on enforcement's back of pursuing him to comply with child support...I'm sure if they don't garnish his check, once he cashes it and he has a choice of jail or paying a 5th of his check to support, he'll choose to pay.

Can you get the husbands signature?  If he can be present then I do not see a problem.  If he is out of the picture you have a problem.  Nice to see someone close by (Albany NY) in here.\n\nThere are those seedy check cashing places, but they charge a fee.\n\nGood luck!

Yes - I agree.  Get a lawyer and appeal.  My husband worked for 30 yrs. or so and finally had to quit because of bipolar and his meds.  He applied twice, was turned down both times.  We finally found a reasonable attorney and just last month, my husband received his first check for 1,100.00.  Just don't give up - keep trying, okay?

Wow.  There are some dumb responses here.  Anistasia (other respondent) was pretty much on target, though.  The key questions will involve: (1) the form of the business, (2) your husband's role in the business, (3) your role in the business, (4) the type of tax that didn't get paid, and (5) the laws about marriage property in your state.\n\nShort answer:  Yes, there's a good chance that this can become a problem for you, even if it's just convincing the IRS you're not a valid target.  If they believe they can get to your husband by rattling your cage, they might, even if they know they can't get to you.\n\nTo answer your question, one would need to ask you these questions:\n(1) What kind of business is it?  Corporation?  Sole Proprietorship?  If the business is a limited liability form (corp., LLC, etc.), it may serve to contain the problem to just the company and its assets.\n(2) Does your husband own the company or just work at it?  What is his role in the company?  If he owns it, are there other owners?\n(3) What kind of tax is it?  For some tax types, the IRS can push right through a corporate structure and assign some of the liability to individuals involved in operating the company, officers or not.\n(4) How are you involved?  Are you an officer in the business?  (Even if you are an officer "just on paper", you could be on the hook.)  Do you help run it?  Do you do its books?\n(5) What are your state's laws regarding marriage property?  In some states, the debt of one spouse is basically the debt of both.  In other states, the debts are separate (or separable).\n\nAs you can see, there is no short, easy answer for you.  You should probably consult with a lawyer or CPA who has experience in handling such matters.  Good luck.

Well I am a agent in NC and my spouse is a lender. He is great at what he does but I donot know where you are and lenders are limited to states. Try your local bank or Wells Fargo!

Politely ask them to send you a copy of the contract, so that you may see it.  There is a possibility that they bought a contract from another company, and you do owe the money.  If they refuse, or you find that there is no contract, try contacting the three major credit reporting companies, and tell them what is happening.  Then if InPhonic reports a problem, they'll have your side of the story first.

We had a similar situation this last weekend.  It was a variation of the same scam only they sent my wife 2 money orders and wanted her to send the money through WalMart's MoneyGram because it was a "Secret Shopper" Job.  \n\nThe checks looked very legit but a quick look online showed that it was a scam.  They wanted her to cash the checks and send out a money order immediately.  The check would have cleared but in 3-4 weeks the bank would have come after us because it was a counterfeit money order.  \n\nI contacted the Attorney General's office and provided all the documentation I had including the original envelopes.  I hope they will do something but it will probably take more people actually losing money before they will act. \n\nTo verify that the checks are fake:\nIn most cases if you look the bank routing number on the money order in Yahoo or Google it will tell you there has been fraud associated with that bank's routing number.  In most cases the routing number will not match the bank it is drawn on.\nIf you photocopy a real check money order or cashier check I was told it will say "VOID" on the copy.  The checks we got did not display this on the copy.  \n\nThey called us back tonight and I told them I had spoken to the Attorney General's office and not to call us back.  They hung up on me.  Maybe that would work for you.  I would not rely on email.

If you know someone who works for the company ask them to help you with your approach.\n\nOtherwise go in and ask who would make that kind of decision... be sure when you approach the person you explain what the donation will go to and WHY you are asking them for help.
