Are your CCBill checks being tampered with?
 

This isn't about CCbill per se. But I have noticed that most of my ccbill checks that come in have a small left tear on the top left corner of the envelope....I thought I was just paranoid but today I get my webmaster and affiliate check from ccbill the same day and they BOTH have the SAME exact tear on the top left side. I had another envelope come in the mail today from some college and guess what? that envelope wasn't torn at all.

I'm just asking if any of y'all get your ccbill checks with tears at the corners? I would also like to know if it would be too much trouble for ccbill to change their check format to have something like Pimproll's where the check is sealed on all four corners and you have to tear along the perforation to open the check.

i will look into that. I haven't noticed that

Marks my words, they're coming to get ya!

It could be that there's a problem in the machine that process the checks :)

haven't noticed anything here

You mailman is just wondering how big his christmas bonus is going to be this year. ;)

i got one today and it was fine

My ccbill checks actually have the same tear half of the time.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that same exact tear. Probably the machine then.

I would guess that it's the machine they use causing the tear.

Those other check printing machines require an entirely new setup, not just changing up some paper or something like that to do it.

Same here... they're usually kind of crinkled too.

I've noticed that a long time ago. I use that part to rip open the envelope.

That's why our checks are Fed Ex'd to us. :)

That's cool with me. As long as it's just the machine and other people notice the same tear. I guess it would take a whole new setup to print out checks differently. I didn't really think of that.

yeh I have always thought it was part of the system/machine either ccbill's or the post office. a good portion of ours have it

Your mom is trying to see who is sending you mail....

Same for my husband's checks & I agree with the machine theory :)

Our's are fed ex'd- no envelope

wow...so fedex just allows them to send the check with no packaging?

i would weary of just a check being mailed with no fedex envelope ;)

In most countryes this is standard practice when mailing papers in an envelope trough the normal postal system (not courier). It is done to show that the envelope contains only papers (most often products literature, advertising etc) so that it wont get stollen. It actualy shows that the envelope doesnt contain anything of value, just useless papers.
I know in this case it's not useless papers :) but they set it up to look like it actualy is :)

do you live in a bad neighborhood?

No....Plus my mail goes to a PO box.

Plus if it was the neighborhood, don't you think my check would be GONE?

Ok I checked and got a quick reply from Jenni (as always...)

she mails the checks herself and theyre sometimes wrinkled but NEVER torn. She's gonna speak to someone at the postoffice to check whats up and get back to me. The machine doesn't torn them, so somethings going wrong at the postoffice most likely.

If she gets a reply, she's gonna email me and ill post it here so you guys know

Hope this helps :)

It's so they can slip the Anthrax in the envelope.. no need to worry :1orglaugh
