This sounds like one of the 100's of money order scams.\n\nPlease tell us you were not "accepting" checks for some company.  You were suppose to deposit them into your checking account, then go get a money order and send them most of it, and keep a percentage?\n\nThis is called a fraud or scam.  They always ( or atleast after the first two or three small checks)  send you a fake one.\nThen if you have any money in your account left,  and you give them your checking account info, they remove the rest of the money if possible,\n\nThese companies are normally overseas and you will never get this money back,  and even worst, if you don't pay the bank back, they will press criminal charges agaisnt you for the bank fraud.\n\nSo please tell us this was not what was happening.  This fraud has been going on now for years,  everyone on the net should know about it by now.\n\nand even then, honestly,  why would they need you to cash thier checks for them,  banks all over the world are international, they can cash any money order from any nation, anywhere in the world.  I can write a personal check, and mail it to my friend in south arfica, and guess what my bank has a branch there.  if not, they deposit it and only have to pay the fee to change it from US dollars to thier money unit.\n\n1.  If this is a fraud which it sounds like, there is no one to pay you back, you will have to  pay the bank back yourself by getting another job or something.

Best advise for you would be to contact your local police and have them follow up on this. If it is legit, then all is good, but if not, let them worry about it. Whatever you do, do not cash the cheque or provide any personal information. You may also contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, they have investigators that deal with scams(?) such as this.

I am sure its legal since you altered it and are not using it as legal tender or even trying to convince anyone it is.\n\nI get coupons occasionally that look like a hundred dollar bill on one side and on the back side is a coupon for something.  I've seen money that looks real except for the face in the center is Alfred E Newman or some other odd character.\nSo obviously its okay to make a "spoof" or parody of currency, its just not okay to try and pass it off as real.

Yes it is a pain.\n\nUnfortunately just got to be pragmatic, smile and take the cheque. A customer is a customer. Just hope they spend more next time.  In business there will always be some expenses - this is just one of them. \n\nDo you object to the bank charges for paying cheque in?\n Or is it just the time involved with cheque handling?\n\nIf bank charges issue - consider alliance and Leicester business account (post office) think it's free to bank cheques - (please confirm could be wrong). Also we used to have an agreement with a high street bank that they would not charge us for banking cheques but forfeit interest on current account - you could try this.\n\nNowadays we still get a few cheques, but also have electronic card handling. Many advantages - cheaper than bank charges, faster and can use cash back and sell phone-top up etc.

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...

TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!\n\nI work at a bank and see this all the time.  Check out the websites the other person listed.  The Dept of Labor does not give out money, and even if they did, they would not ask for any money from you up front!

Steal from them. (No please don't that was a joke.)  If you didn't get it in writing there is reallly nothing you can do.  Go back to JC Penny and find out if the position is still open, explain to the why you didn't take it the first time.  Hopefully they'll understand.

It is a scheme...\n\nThere are thousands way that a fool is parted with his money.  \nWhen things are too good to be true...well guess what?\n\nI liked this one done around here not too long ago:\n\nAn African man in a shopping mall asks an elderly man if he knows of any charity that he can donate his money to.  He said that he has $250,000.  and he needs to give it to donate it to a worthy cause, but he is not around here and does not know who to trust.\n\nAnother person from the same team gets involved.  For some reason in order for trust to be built...each person gives the African man $2,500.  \n\nWell...you know what happens.\n\nAnd this actually works a lot.

IT'S A SCAM!  They are trying to get you to cash a big check (that is fraudulent) and pay them some bogus amount for Euro Tax so they can then mail you the huge check for the lottery winnings (which never arrives).  Meanwhile, the initial check bounces and the bank comes after you for the money!
