[Bogus Complaint] inetbet check no good! bank said fraudulent!

[bporter28]

Finally after the whole deal of sending in faxback form along with all other required documentation I got my account verified so I could make a withdrawal. I requested $3,000, but most they can send is $2,500 in one check. So I said fine. I waited a week for the check to arrive. I get the check and it says *snip* across the top. So im just thinking its a international money order. I go to the bank and they asked where I got it from. I am in the United States so I had to make up a story about how it was from some marketing work I did online. The bank kept insisting that it was a fraudulent check, but went ahead and deposited it and said they would have to hold the funds and everything for 10 days to make sure it wasnt fraudulent, which they were positive it was. I was like, it will be fine. I go to the bank today 5 days later, and they tell me the check came back fraudulent and they would no longer allow me to deposit checks anymore as they can no longer trust my checks as this one came back as a fraud. Inetbet still owes me another $1,000 in another check as they said they could only send 1 check every 7 days. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment as now I am unable to even cash my own paycheck as I was going in to do today. What is a guy to do? everyone says they pay fast and they sometimes take awhile, but they always have gotten paid.

 

[Mousey]

Oh really? 'fraudulent' before they even checked to see if it truly was? We all 'know' it isn't fraudulent, as I trust INetBet not to do such a thing.... I think I'd ask my bank for a written statement and photocopy of the refusal stamp on the check. If it's NSF, that's one thing, if it's written on a (recently) frozen/blocked account, that's another (and may be on an alert list), and if the bank simply doesn't want to (or can't) send it thru the Federal Reserve/clearing house they use, that's yet another thing. You'll have to have some sort of documentation to forward to INetBet anyway showing the check not clearing your account and whatever fees it incurs.

Just wondering... is this a small bank? And I think... just MHO... if they don't want your business and won't even cash your paycheck, it's long past time to move your financial dealings elsewhere.

 

[chuchu59]

Sorry to hear about this but it does seem you havent contacted support to relay to them your problem. There are many USA players patronising Inet and there seem to be few problems, if any, on cheques. I do not believe the cheque is fraudulent. Rather, I do believe its something to do with your bank and possibly DOJ. What is a problem here is your bank seems to be willing to sever its relationship with you.

So first of all, contact Inet support and explain your problem to them. They need to think of a way to pay you. You might also wish to retain your good standing with this bank or another but I am not sure how these things work in the US.

 

[secret2]

I pm'd the op to take it elsewhere, then it can be sorted out better.

 

[colly]

I would agree with the other posters- Inet is one of the RTG's you can very much trust and definitely not one to issue bad cheques- I suggest this might be your bank rather than the casino and would ask for proof from them. I would also suggest PM'ing Emily Hanson the Inet rep here at CM and she will certainly be able to give you some advice as to next steps.

This seems very odd to me. Have you had your job for more than a few weeks? If so, then why would they all of a sudden not cash those checks? Because obviously your work checks were good, and they know this.

PM Emily here https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/members/ and explain to her what happened. She is the iNetBet casino manager.

 

[secret2]

I agree but I think it should be discussed, initially, in the appropriate forum, first..then onto complaints.

Ya know, it is quite warm here, in NY , USA right now! I actually have the a/c on...

Very well might be a problem with the bank. This account is actually my mothers account and ive been using it for close to 3 years depositing my paychecks and like clock work they clear the very next day after being deposited. I am in no way intentionally bashing inetbet as I do love their casino. I just have gotten a little overwhelmed with all the documentation needed to submit and then waiting a week for the check only to be told all of this information about it being fraudulent. I am beginning to doubt weather they even tried to cash the check, or if they just told me some bs story to get me out of the bank

 

[Mousey]

Part of our problem with banks is that if they're not accustomed to seeing checks from a particular company, they tend to freak out and think it's one of the scam checks that almost everyone in the world has received by now. Even in this hick town, the small banks see little old ladies coming in trying to cash $7000 fake/forged checks they received in the mail out of the blue from no one they know almost on a daily basis.

 

[LHofsdal]

You are in Watertown, NY. I am in Syracuse, NY. Watertown is an Army Base City, out state and out of country checks should be no surprise to any bank there. I know this because my husband was in the service when we met, and was stationed there. He would get checks from free lance work he would do in Korea, and other countries, I would deposit them for him without any problems.

Not to mention the Canadian border is only miles away. I think the problem lies with your bank, not with the check.

Keep us posted.

This could be the main issue. It is your mother's name that risks getting tarnished with anything dodgy, and this may be why the bank have stopped you using your mother's account to deposit your own checks. You also lack rights as a customer, as it is your mother who is the customer with the bank, not yourself.

The bank may be bluffing, so maybe bluff them back. Tell them that since they even regard your paycheck as potentially suspect, you are going to make contact with your employer as a matter of urgency. This may worry the bank as your employer may see this action as potentially libellous as it suggests that they do not issue secure paychecks that any bank will accept.

At the same time, see about getting your own account at a different bank, and then a second account at a third bank. Only ever use ONE of these to deposit checks, especially those from iNetBet. If one account gets tarnished, you have the other as a fallback option whilst sorting the matter out.

You could even have your mother march into the bank demanding an explanation as to why her account has effectively been "frozen out" of having anything credited to it.

Since you got this check for some "freelance work online", you are the VICTIM of fraud, and your bank should be helping you, not telling you to eff off. They should be giving you advice on how not to get scammed by fraudsters when engaging in another spot of freelancing.

It seems the banks are at risk of seizing up the whole economy with this hardball attitude to out of state checks, especially than in the internet age, many companies are global, and workers can work from home over the internet for any country in the world.

It could be the banks trying to get rid of checks altogether, something they tried here in the UK, but an exercise that stalled because they could not come up with an effective alternative for some types of transactions.

Banks prefer bank transfer over checks here, and checks are now quite rare. The problem in the US seems to be that many banks don't even like bank transfers, so this forces customers to revert to using checks. The US and EU use different systems for making bank transfers, and this could be part of the problem.

 

[bporter28]

the bank gave me a copy of the check today with fraudulent written on it. They said that they sent it over to their security dept already.....They also said they called the issuing bank directly and they stated that it was not a good check. Been in contact with support, but they take forever....I have gone and opened 2 bank accounts today. One with a local bank with only 2 or 3 branches, and another with bank of america. Bank of America is the bank in which the check was supposed to be drawn from. Needless to say, I now have no check and have to get another sent or see about some other alternative.

 

[Mousey]

If you haven't already, as justplay suggested earlier in this thread, please contact the casino manager by sending her a PM (private message ... I think the link will be on the left of the page) HERE She is very nice and will help get this straightened out.

I still do not believe the check is 'fraudulent'. It may have been written from what is now a frozen account (made frozen/seized by the banks and Feds themselves). Emily (the casino manager) may be able to get this part sorted, though it does take a bit of time as sometimes the processor themselves do not know an account is frozen until complaints from payees show up.

The process as explained by you at the bank is very strange and only proves that they 'thought' the check was a fake at first glance and thus took the strange step of phoning the issuing bank rather than depositing it and running it thru the usual processing/clearing. Very strange. Perhaps the issuer is indeed on an 'alert' list.

At my bank, I phoned them, 'Can I deposit an international check written in US dollars?' The reply was 'yes, we can. Customers who have not been with us very long may experience a 'hold' period while we wait for the check to clear.' I deposited it, and that was that. (That's not to say the check won't bounce here in a few days. LOL Processors come and go like the wind....)

But... none of this phoning out of country or wherever to see if the check is good.

Good luck to you! And do contact Emily. Just continue to be patient, and she'll help get this sorted for you.

(Isn't playing online fun?!?! )

Unless I am mistaken, checks issued by inetbet are from Canadian Banks so how can the check be drawn from BofA?

Well this makes it a little stranger, you deposit checks made out to you in your mothers account? Maybe because your doing this, and its an international check they are saying u are trying to do something fraudlent?

 

[gambler777]

I will not name the casino here, and it was not Inetbet. However, I had this same problem about 5 months ago. I received a courier check drawn on a canadian bank with a branch supposedly in New york that the check was drawn on. My bank, who I have been with for 25 years, and never give me a hassle on anything, looked at the check and said sorry we will have to put a 10 day hold on this because we do not believe the check will clear. For some reason that is what they thought immediately.
So I took it to my secondary bank, they looked it up in a book and said it would be a 10 day hold because they did not believe the check would clear.
I then took it to a check cashing store, and they DO call the bank and verify the funds so they can pay you. They talked to the canadian and the New York branch of the bank and were told that the check was no good, it was written on a non-existent account number.
I contacted the casino and though they were certainly willing to tell me to rip up the check and choose another withdrawal method, that was all that was done. Since I had requested a check, there were no fees, but to then get my money I had to do several paymycard transactions to get it into my bank. The bank I use to deposit with had to be the one I withdrew to, but they question everything. My regular account questions nothing, so I guess I am going to have to switch them around.
So anyways, it ended up costing me quite a bit in fees to get my money out and over 2 weeks, so it was not a great alternative to the check method, but the check was certainly fraudulent, so yes, this does happen, even to the best. And yes, the banks must have some kind of list of fraudulent checks being passed around.

 

[jimdog]

It is serious if they are trying to pass fraudulent cks. Fraudulent usually means the ck are on a fake account. It would be different if the account was frozen or nsf. Fraudulent is criminal. And the casino should not be able to just say, it wasn't us- it was the processor! They hire the processor. Any casino that sends fraudulent cks should be questioned if they immediately got rid of the processor and if not they should be rogued in my opinion.

I am not sure what happened after I reported the problem. Nothing special was done for me, just told they would process up to 2 paymycards per week, but that is standard. I have never requested a check since, because 10 days waiting for check, 2 days trying to cash it, and then waiting another 5 days for first paymycard to hit bank and 2 weeks to process the paymycards was certainly a long time frame. I of course reversed 500 in the waiting, and since then have won nothing of significance. The few withdrawals I have made since were under paymycard limits and mostly made on free money I received. That is another thing, I have never asked a casino for a free chip unless it was my birthday,( which I think all casinos should do birthday bonuses). I would certainly feel strange asking, so I just wait for them to send me one. Could sure use one now since none of my deposit methods are working. lol Good luck to all.

 

[GrandMaster]

Unless I am mistaken, checks issued by inetbet are from Canadian Banks so how can the check be drawn from BofA?

Something is awry here

BofA operates in Canada as well. The company whose name appeared on the cheque (now removed from the post) exists and is registered in Québec. The bank really ought to explain why they consider the cheque fraudulent.

 

[bporter28]

the would not give me any other info other than the check came back fraudulent. Support told me that they were in "contact" with the sender of the check yesterday. I have sent them 4 emails today and have not gotten 1 response. Starting to get a little worried that they are not going to pay. The least they could do would be to respond and at least let me know they are still looking into it. No response makes you think otherwise.

 

[chuchu59]

If the bank had marked the cheque as fraudulent and you have something to prove this is so I am certain that Inetbet will pay you plus possibly a chip for the hassles lol. There have never been major issues on payments from this casino and this does seem to be a clearcut case with you being the victim.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Didn't the bank eventually ring the issuing bank, who then stated that yes, the check was a fake. If the issuing bank says a check drawn on one of it's accounts is fake, then the receiving bank is entitled to take this as proof that said check IS fake. If the check is genuine, then the fault lies with the issuing bank for giving out the wrong information to the receiving bank. The issuer of the check can then make a claim against their bank for slander as this mistake has made the recipient convinced that they have been ripped off by the processor, which in turn is giving iNetBet bad press.

This is INetBet we're talking about here. You'll get your money.

You will get a response when they have some information. The processor isn't in house. And most cashiers and management are all off for the weekend now, so please be patient.

This sort of major SNAFU takes time to sort out. You'll get paid. It may not be tomorrow, or even next week, but you'll get it.

And now you see why so many of us rarely play online anymore....

 

[anniemac]

The main problem I see in this whole thing is the lack of communication between casino and player. It is the casinos' responsibility to see that proper payment is made and if there is a problem, real or not, they have to keep the player informed. If nothing else, just a 'We are working on it' email will keep the player somewhat happy.

When I get a check from anyone, casino or business, I expect it to be honored. If not, then the first thing that comes to mind is that the entity is trying to get out of paying me. So the casino needs to get on the ball, find out what the problem is and get it fixed before it comes back to bite them in the butt.

This is not just directed toward InetBet, all casinos need to get with the program, especially the US facing ones. US players know there could be delays and problems but it seems to me that the casinos don't take into consideration possible snags so aren't prepared to handle them when they arise.

 

[Mousey]

You're quite right, Annie... Did I seem short in my previous post? Hubby says it reads that way... Didn't mean it to be. Maybe I need to edit it and drop in some smilies or something?

The casinos (all of the RTGs) have a less than stellar record with USA players when it comes to communication. And, with INetBet, you can't just pop into chat or ring them up and say, 'Are you having email problems? I haven't received a reply. Could you tell me - or have someone email me - and let me know how things are going with my problem?'

 

[bporter28]

just got an email this morning through my secondary email stating that they have been informed that the processor is arranging another check....at least I got a reply, thats all I wanted in the first place.

My bank seems to be lying to me.

I brought in a check last year (I don't think it was gambling related) and they said they had to put a hold on it, I asked can't you just call that bank to see if there is enough money in their account? The teller told me they are not allowed to do that anymore, it goes against privacy policy.

Unless their are different rules for personal and business?

Years ago banks would do that... nowadays.... who knows? I've got one bank that wouldn't take an international check saying 'the Federal Reserve won't clear it'. I call a bigger bank 2 blocks away, and they say 'Sure! Bring it on in!'. It's a mess, I tells ya.

 

[anniemac]

Personally, I think that the banking industry is a bigger bunch of crooks than Virtual Group.

The last check I got from a casino actually was a bank draft from Bank One in China. I signed the back of that sucker and put it in the mail to my 'casino' bank. I had full access to funds within one day. Not even a question from them.

However, I have taken a check for oil royalty from a large oil company, on a well known bank in the US and you would have thought I was trying to deposit stolen funds.

I have had a bank refuse to cash a check written on the bank by a customer of theirs.

Go figure.

Hi All,

As an update the OP (bporter28) has today informed us that:

"The original check in which I had gotten that the bank showed as fraudulent, seems to have cleared through the bank. They put a 10 day hold on it just to make sure and today was that 10th day. I am heading to take the money out in a little bit."

It would thus appear that, as we suspected, all of their accusations etc were false.

Funds verification has tightened up significantly for the consumer. Anyone used to be able to call up and verify funds. The banks will still work with each other on funds verification, but there really is not too much of a need for it because it does not guarantee funds when the check gets there. It is more of a curiosuty thing, becasue it offers no protection.

 

[Stovetopp]

I think its outrageous for a player or member of this or any other forum to make accusations against a casino or casinos without first checking with casino or try working things out.

Not in this instance , however, I have seen words used such as cheat, fraud , ripoff , etc and then turn out to be false

I think casinomeister should have a penalty for such outrageous behaviou r(slander)

I play at only 2 casinos including inet and have read where accusations were made which I personally know were not factual or could not be factual.

In real life you could be sued but I guess the world is made up of all sorts !!

All I am saying here is "slow down" write or call casino and after a few weeks you can come here and blast off with evidence in hand

 

[bporter28]

update!

Just as I suspected. Went to the bank to withdraw funds a little while ago. The bank said the check is indeed still fraudulent and they had no idea why the available balance was showing it as cleared. They stated the account is frozen and we cannot deposit nor withdraw anything at the present time. The check is still with the banks security department. I knew I should have waited to contact inetbet as I did not have funds in hand. Looks like a computer glitch telling me the money was in there when it wasnt. Now inetbet is going on the offensive still saying I jumped to conclusions and that I was accusing them of something not true.

Dear Brandon
I am sorry but your bank are lying to you, a check cannot be fraudulent and then become cashable. That is just ridiculous as we knew.
So in actual fact this whole incident has been caused by your banks telling you lies.
That incudes you posting libellous accusations about us on a public forum.
The status of the check at this time I would assume as you are removing cash is good.

[gambler777]

My bank has done that. They have shown the funds as there, but then told me they were not available because as soon as the system processed they would be taken back out and shown as funds not available from issuer. So it is in the banking software that credits it and then removes it. Maybe so they have a trail of what happened to the funds? I don't really know. Kind of like the casino denying your withdrawal, taking out their bonus and then approving your withdrawal. Only the banks do it in reverse, tell you its approved and then take it back from you...lol Good Luck, ask for another form of payment.

The last correspondence we have from you stated, you had cleared funds in your account and you were going to cash them.

Now I see that this is apparently not the case and you are saying the bank have made an error on your account.

This account is actually my mothers account and ive been using it for close to 3 years depositing my paychecks and like clock work they clear the very next day after being deposited.

Why don't you use your own bank account? Do you have your own bank account?

I'm not in the USA and I'm not for or against iNetBet. It just seems odd you'd be using your mothers account for this (or any) casino check transactions.

Think it's time you got your own bank account if you don't have one already

 

[premiergaming]

This could just go on and on with the blame getting chucked at everyone.

To make life simpler here is what you could do.

Ask Inetbet to cancell the cheuqe and send you another.

But this time cash it in your own Account instead of your mothers as that could have something to do with it.

 

[bporter28]

I had owed money previously to my bank account, so I was unable to open 1 in my own name. I have since been able to pay off what I owed and I have opened a local bank account in my area, along with a national bank in Bank of America (bank of america is whom the check was supposed to be drawn from as their name was on the front of the check)

The bank we are dealing with now is a local bank. They told me in person it would not matter weather the account was in my name or not as it would have still came back fraudulent. I have been cashing payrolls checks on this account for over 2 years now without a single problem. They know me well.

 

[rockycatt]

can you get a copy of the check even if stamped fraud on it [that's a start ] or who actually owns the stamped check

then send copy to inetbet not to display IN OPEN FORUM just in case there's a typo on the check fraud could be a misspelled name or such not necessarily the acc and routing numbers

I think your mothers bank might be suspicious and caught a typo and are sweating you , if they don't call you in than something
inset correct

American cheques/checks are normally negotiable, the OP can endorse the cheque to her mother and pay it into her mother's account, this is perfectly legal. In contrast, standard cheques in the UK are crossed account payee only, a bank accepting such a cheque for deposit into anyone else's could become liable if there are problems.

I'm not a banker, or a teller .... but ... this is getter stranger by the moment. Why would anyone at your bank credit your account with this 'fraudulent' check, which has been with their security department for several days now? And have they not given you a signed copy of the rejection of this check to send back to INetBet ? If your Mom's account is frozen, then you've got a whole lot more to worry about than getting paid by INetBet.

The bank should give you a copy of the returned ck with fraudulent or whatever reason stamped on it. That way you can fax or send to casino to show them. I believe that banks are required by law to give you a copy of returned ck.

In my business- (non gambling)- I often get returned cks from bank- (they are usually stamped NSF). But my bank always sends me a copy of the ck to show the customer. The bank doesn't just tell me a deposited ck was bad.

Well I don't know much about all the issues in the US these days, but once I got paid with a check from outside the country and my bank put it on hold and locked both of my accounts until that check cleared - it took 30 days, and I was some steamed, let me tell you. I went into the bank and told them how unacceptable it was - I could have travelled there and got the money in person faster than that. Of course they apologized all over themselves and ate a bunch of fees they were planning on charging me, but the 30 day hold stood. Needless to say, I don't accept out of country checks anymore.

Anyhow I know that's really nothing to do with the OPs problem, but I'm thinking that it sounds to me like the bank has the check on hold - otherwise why would it be showing up in the account at all. When my out of country check was on hold, the amount showed up in my total balance, but my 'available balance' was stuck at a big fat zero.

I agree with whoever said that the OP needs to get a photocopy of the so-called fraudulent check and a letter from the bank stating that they won't honor it and get that to iNetBet so they can sort it out. And also shopping for a new bank would be top priority.

OK this is getting stranger and stranger. Its not a foreign check for you stated the check came from BOA. Do you have a check stub by chance? On there you should find acct info call BOA and tell them the problem see what they say? Something is very odd.

I have a copy of the check from the bank in which they wrote fraudulent on. I have told support at inetbet that I had this if they needed it. I tried calling bank of america, but all they can tell me over the phone is that it is a valid account #, nothing else. They said I would have to bring check in to verify. How am I supposed to do that? the other bank has the check and are investigating it as fraud. I opened the bank of america acct last week, but they are also an hour away.
