Strangest Sponsor Check Story. - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a few , but the strangest one was fairly recently. I recieved a check for a few thousand dollars in my mailbox, the only problem was the name on it was " JOHN Q PUBLIC " . It was from the company CDNOW. Along long time ago i had an account with them, i never logged into the stats and never checked it , as it was only one of those little search features. Well i guess they stopped running the affiliate program awhile ago and they were sending out the final checks. Funny thing was though , even if the check was in my name, it was 2 montha after the check was written and the check said do not cash after 60 days.

I Also had a strange one along time ago with a company i had only tried for a bit, I think it was cecash possibly in the old days, under a different name.

To this day i cant remember the name of the company but it was something like.

SCHOOLGIRL CHERRY POPPERS

The check itself was PINK ( although i dont think think they actually did their own checks. )

BIG BLAZING LETTERS ACROSS THE TOP OF THE CHEQUE. because it was from out of the country my bank would cash it, so they offered me to set up 3 new bank accounts with seperate currency in each, then i can cash wtf i want. SO then they say all the clerks are busy how bout going to see the bank manager. Well gee ok , i guess its kind of late to take back those 2 joints i just smoked.

So i hand the guy the check and he looks at it for a second, and then turns it around and shows me what it says along the top of the check.

So im like "look man the check is good its a name of a fruit juice " i work for them ok ..

So he of course has to call and verify the funds * takes an hour * ok " would you like to deposit any of that sir " ... " HELL NO , it took long enough just to get it, i dont want to have to do that agin
