I recently got a sponsor check from a Canadian sponsor. I mistakenly put it in the ATM to cash it. Big mistake.

If you haven't experienced cashing a foreign check yet, read on.

You are supposed to take the check into the bank and get grilled by them as to why you got paid from an outside source. They send all that info to the DOJ and it must go into some kinda database to thwart terrorism.. Or perhaps it is sold as an Op-In email list to LightSpeedCash ;)

I put my check in the ATM. My account got frozen. It had a few grand in it. It won't be unfrozen until I go to the bank and discuss my error and apologize to them. It is currently Sunday. They are not open on Sunday. So I just went from being even more well off to being -500 (They put a negative balance on it of that ammount to insure I cannot still draft money from it based on my overdraft protection). Fuck an Aye.

Live and learn... Bush, you are so not going to get my vote you fucking paranoid fucker!
