Just got a weird cheque. Who is this? - GoFuckYourself.com

Methodcash Rick · 09-28-2007, 11:43 AM

Just got a check, no return address on the envelope, and nothing but our address on the paper surrounding the cheque.

It's drawn on a "Cyprus Popular Bank Ltd. / Marfin Popular Bank Public Co Ltd." through CitiBank International.

The signator is D. Andreou

It also references "International Business Centre N/SIA, Cyprus"

It shows a client #, but no reference what it's for, and is made out to my company..

Any ideas?

Thanks

Anyone??

fatfoo · 09-28-2007, 01:30 PM

hmmm weird

Husila · 09-28-2007, 01:48 PM

free money

Nasty-Ass · 09-28-2007, 01:53 PM

That's a loan check, be very careful.................Do not cash it!

camuk19 · 09-28-2007, 01:54 PM

How much ? :P

Diligent · 09-28-2007, 01:54 PM

Maybe some company that's gone under, that was based there when operating?

I know many EU based guys have chosen to incorporate in Cyprus over the years.

ztik · 09-28-2007, 02:02 PM

Maybe you could contact them and verify it is a real check are funds are available for it www.laiki.com

Intruder · 09-28-2007, 02:04 PM

I received the same thing today. $376.56.

D · 09-28-2007, 02:12 PM

I'd contact Citibank, and get a contact number.

Always verify what you're getting paid for before accepting money, imho.

PornMogul · 09-28-2007, 02:21 PM

sign it over to me and ill figure it out

Mine is for $630.69, which is odd, because I don't advertise any other sites, or products in our members areas, never have, so I'm really confused as to what it is for, or if it's a scam.

Agreed... I'll be contacting Citibank about this, it just seems too odd.

The safe thing to do is to send it back to CitiBank International and ask if you have rights to claim such... also ask for the history of the check...

Later,

I agree, too odd, and I have no intention of depositing a check from unknown sources in our bank account. Let us know what you find. I too don't advertise other sites, so I have no reasonable explanation for the check.

markyman · 09-28-2007, 08:29 PM

slickcash or hundies sends checks from cyprus I got one once, if that narrows it down, I dont remember which sponser though.

peterk · 09-28-2007, 08:33 PM

strange, you should check if there are funds available before cash it

gecko · 09-28-2007, 09:31 PM

hentai bucks also sends from cyprus

JD · 09-28-2007, 09:45 PM

I think it's slickcash

ibuydomains · 09-28-2007, 10:08 PM

Don't you hate that? How hard is it to use the god damn memo line?

Methodcash Rick · 10-01-2007, 12:23 PM

Ok, I'm pretty sure this is a scam of some sort, tho I can't for teh life of me figure out the angle.

I got a 2nd cheque from the same "person / company", but this time it's for $925.36, and the biggie this time is, the signature line changed and it's a different signature.

Just too many things that scream scam to ignore.

P.S. I checked and these cheques are not from Slickcash...

Intruder · 10-01-2007, 01:40 PM

same here. how's it possible that only two of us are getting these checks?

I'm looking for a citibank branch around here, see if they'll cash them.

V_RocKs · 10-01-2007, 01:54 PM

very strange.

Dirty D · 10-08-2007, 06:51 AM

I have 3 of these checks...

We push many sponsors, but can't figure this one out?

m3nyc · 10-08-2007, 07:59 AM

i got 3 also. SCAM.

Intruder · 10-09-2007, 12:35 AM

I walked into a citibank branch and showed them to the manager. She said they are almost certainly fake, but I'm still waiting to hear back from their fraud investigators to confirm this.

she says that this kind of scam happens all the time. I asked her what these people have to gain by sending me a check that I would deposit only to find out it's no good: they're after our account and routing numbers. I told her I find that hard to understand because any time you send out a check that information is right there on the check. She said that in the wrong hands, an account number and routing number can compromise an account.

In fact that's why my bank set me up with an automatic sweep account so that only the necessary amount is kept in checking. Everything else is automatically put out of reach of scam artists that may access the account through fake or altered checks or other means.

Sounds picture perfect to what I got today but was for 49,90. did you cash it? lol

woj · 11-23-2007, 12:15 PM

If it's a scam how would it work? I don't think the scammer would be able to get any $$ or information from it, the best they can probably do is figure which bank you have an account at, but that's about it, I would think...

L-Pink · 11-23-2007, 12:24 PM

I have a new friend in Nigeria that knows a lot about international banking, when he calls to confirm receipt of the check I sent him I'll ask.
