I got a supposed cash grant in the mail, thought it was too good to be true. I figured i would cash the check to see if it cleared because it was a real check.
After 2 days the check cleared, and i decided to go get the money paks and fax the 10% comission fee with the numbers of the money paks on the paper to the person that sent me the cash grant. I figured this was it and then id be getting ANOTHER check for 4810 dollars in the mail.
Two days later i went to check my account balance, and it said i was 800 dollars in the hole for an available balance, and my total balance was 4500 dollars. Somehow the check had cleared AND THEN went back to a holding status, which should not be allowed.
I had thought that once a check clears your account, it is your money and theres no way it can be taken back, but i was wrong. There IS a way to have the check appear to clear and then be completely screwed over.
Right now im way in the hole, unemployed and scrounging for any way to bring myself out of the hole. Please dont fall for this scam if you get this check and commission payment instructions in the mail.
