Mysterious $150 check in the mail

[VayCayMom]

IB / GLOBAL ADVANTAGE sent a check to me from Las Vegas for a refund.

I have no idea who they are. There is an email address in case of questions, no answer from them so far. There is a phone number under the business address...877 number.. generic answer machine, no name used only repeats the number.

under the name it says

"PROCESSING THE WORLD'S TRANSACTIONS"
LAS VEGAS, NV 89147

the return address does not match the zip code on the check

3230 e flamingo road
las vegas, nv 89121

I have tried every search and reverse lookup online, can't find a thing. I used to be a telephone operator and I know every trick there is..nothing.

Of course I will not cash this without information.
Just wondering if it could be related to online casinos?
Any ideas anyone.

did you call the bank its drawn on to see if its any good ?or you might can take it to your bank and have one of the tellers check it out for you or usually the branch manager can be helpfull .the last thing they want is a bad check

It's not much help, and whoever posted it is banned. But the general consensus seems to be that they clear without a problem.

Just make sure there's no fine print which says something to the effect of "By signing here you agree to sign up for such-and-such a service" or something.

And when in doubt, deposit it using the ATM and not a human teller

I get these checks from Wildjack Casino and Vegas 7 casino. Thus far (knock on wood), I haven't had any problems depositing them and cashing them.
HTH.

I also successfully deposited one of their checks a couple months ago. I guess it was from Wildjack, not sure.

myself

Id cash it at the bank it was drawn on or go to cash checking place, not my bank!

I received one of these checks for $253.27 last week and have no idea who it is either. If it is from Wild Jacks ... what is the refund for ? Did anyone try and call Wild Jacks about it ?

I have received 14 of those checks so far from various casinos. I have not had a problem with any of them. I just go to my bank and deposit them. I wait 3 days for them to clear then I can draw off of them.

What I have started to do now is when I cashout I do different odd amounts so I can tell which check is from which casino.
