aquisha | Can you verify a cashiers check before depositing in your bank account? |
a friend of mine was contacted through her email and was asked to cash a cashiers check and she would get to keep 10% of the total check. she received a cashiers check in her name a few days later, deposited the cashiers check in her account and the cashiers check bounced. she wants to know who to contact about this fraud. the person who contacted her said she was in the healthcare industry in the uk and would cover any bank fees if any occurred. well to no avail the lady has not replied to her emails. there has to be some sort of agency she can alert about this fraud.. |

go to: fbi.org and report it. There is a whole section about that for reporting it. Cut and paste entire email along with who it came from. It is not only illegal, it's a matter of national security. Never send or give money through emails to people you don't know. Even if it is YOUR bank. Banks never do that, you go to their website for any transactions. |

Yes, contact the issuing bank and they can verify it for you. They will ask for the number of the check, the routing numbers at the bottom, and the amount. They can tell you if it is good.
Now, that email your friend got is a scam. I would not touch it. Since it's in the UK, it's hard for US law enforcement to procesute and your friend will probably never get her money back. That scam has been around for years. |

There is something DEFINITELY wrong there. . . it is contradictory (Spelling???) - Anyway a cashier's check is a guarenteed cleared check - it is like a money order.
THey don't bounce
When you go the bank and ask them to prepare one for you (out of your bank account) it shows up as a cash withdrawl
That's it - it's cleared. . .the money is "put aside" it's totally guarenteed. your friend should be more careful about taking weird checks from people.
Maybe it was a fraudulent document? (the check) I'd go straight to the police...Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars |

She needs to close her checking account and reopen another one. Because if that lady has here bank information, they will clean it out. There is a fraud going around they send you a check you deposit it. It shows up on their statement and shows what bank and your account number and they somehown gain access and clean you out. It is a good thing that the cashiers check bounced. I would probably still change my account just to be on the safe side. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. I do not know who the provider is on the email, but whether it is yahoo, hotmail, or whoever; she needs to alert them of what is going on and she can contact her local authorities once and if they find out who it is. |

Thats the good thing about Cashiers Checks, you dont have to, they are guaranteed by the bank that issued it because the funds were taken either directly from the persons account who requested the check, or they gave the bank cash in exchange for the Cashiers Check. |

Your friend was the victim of a longstanding scam. She or he will never get any money and never get reimbursed for the fees.
Your friend can report the scam to his or her bank, the state attorney general and local authorities. |

She learned a hard lesson. The same thing happened to a lady I know. Most people think that a cashier's check can't bounce, but it can if it's a fake check. Hopefully you can spread the word with people you know, so no one else suffers. If someone you don't know, especially from out of the country, contacts you via mail or email to cash a check or that you won't a contest you never entered, delete it. She can forward the email to the fraud department of her email provider. The bank needs to be alerted and she can probably file a police report. I hope it wasn't too much money she lost. |

Listen, people think I'm a b*tch...but for God's sweet love...if that person is so gullible that she responds to that kind of crap she seriously does NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS HAVING AN E-MAIL ACCOUNT. |

cashiers check DO NOT BOUNCE!
fake cashiers on the other hand do..
Its a common scam
Its called a representative scam
http://www.joewein.de/sw/419representative.htm
The check will be fake....very good fakes.
You can hand them to a 25yr old bank teller and they wont know the difference.
The checks go in your account.
Your bank "HONOURS" the checks
You send the money to the scammer in Nigeria
The bank sends the check back to the issuing bank (can take up to 6 months)
The Issueing bank refuses to "CLEAR" the check.
Your bank says"Hey...you put in a fake check ....wheres the money?"
You say" I sent it to [insert scammers name here] by western union money transfer(untracable) to that lovely man/woman/both in Nigeria"
The bank says"??? you robbed your own bank???"
You plead Ignorance..."Im innocent" etc
They say "But YOU put the check in our bank...." and you do jail time for bank fraud
For a rough guess on wheither your check might be fake do this..
Go out on to your street,ask the first person you meet if they will accept your check....if they wont accept it from a stranger then why should you?
The ONLY way to truly verify a check is to call the issueing bank
"419" scammers....dont ya love 'em

Up too Late!!

cashiers checks NORMALLY are sure money like a money order. This was for sure a scam. Seems like your friend's bank should investigate it for her, that's where I'd start. |
