First, it's not funny at all. Another thing is that banks resorts to more restrictions and find the way to pump out more money from their clients. They compete with each other for their clients, and it's good. But in the given circumstances all of them impose restrictions / self-protection and even the honest regular customer will suffer, because by default, any bank will deminish benefits/promotions and impose more hidden fees to cover such sort of possible cheats/omissions in their system. So, the guy works against us, working class regular consumers. Big guys never feel this problem, for them plus/minus $100 is not even the thing to waster their time. I don’t like this story.

An average guy who, in1995, decided on a whim to deposit one of those fake checks so common in junk mail. On May 19th, I was one of thousands of people around the country who received a ‘junk mail’ letter touting a get-rich quick method for making $95,093.35 in just three weeks. That letter also came with a for the same amount, $95,093.35. Everything about the check looked real except for the words ‘non-negotiable for cash’ typed on the top right hand corner.

For the investors, bank executive, CEO it is weekend party money. We all pay them with bogus fees and hidden charges, well connected lobbyist make sure of it. I want every bank to get stuck, maybe just maby than the balance will start to even out. 100,000 dollars might seem like a lot of money for the working class you and me.

Other banks in the chain refused the check relatively promptly so the junk mail provider never had the check register on their end. The bank was out the money.

The money must have come through from the junk mail provider. Good job!
