A few years back I got a notice from my bank that they were holding a check I had deposited for up to 10 days. They said they had "good information" that made them believe it would bounce. The check in question was from AFF who have never bounced a check to me (or anyone that I have ever heard of) so I know it is good. I go down there and the manager pulls me aside and says ,"This check is from an adult website company." I say, "yeah, I know." He then replies, "A lot of those types of checks bounce." I start laughing and say," 90% of the checks I deposit are from adult companies and none of them have ever bounced." He just looks at me. I then say, "If if were a check from Amazon.com would you question it?" He says no so I say," You do know that Amazon has never made a profit so the chances of them bouncing a check are higher than this company which makes plenty of profit right?" He just shrugged and said they may hold checks in the future if they think they are bad.

I left that bank about 2 weeks later and when I wanted to close my savings account all of a sudden they seemed to want the smut money that they didn't want a few a weeks before.
