On July 17th i received a check in the mail in the amount of $9,500.00, I checked continuously throughout the day and the bank stated the the funds were available and they told me to either deposit it or bring it in to one of their branches for cashing. I verified again today at 7:10 am and the bank again told me the funds were available.
I drove for 3 hours to get to Wachovia bank, and when arriving they asked me to sign the check then they needed to verify funds. After around 15 minutes of waiting the teller told me she could not negotiate the check because the funds were not available and it was a fraudulant check. I can't fully blame Wachovia for the mess up, but i can't beleive that they would tell me the funds were good until i arrive there. I don't know if anyone else has received a check of this type, but be aware before you decide to cash it.
Now they have my signature and are telling me i was in posession of a fraudulant check!!! Thank god although they confiscated the check from me, they were "nice enough", to make me a photostatic copy which is worthless, other than to prove my innocence. Everyone just BEWARE OF THIS SCAM. The envelope is from Payment processing center, and the check was on Wachovia bank in North Carolina.
