OK - for those wanting to know how my particular issue is being handled by BoDog - so far.
I won and cashed out 20,000.00 at BoDog.
In February.
BoDog sent checks regularly in increments of 3000.00 every 5 days or so via FedEx.
The first check I put in the bank - and was called later by the bank to be told that it was fraudulent. And that it was a Canadian Bank, etc. The called the bank itself who could not or would not identify the account - but my bank REFUSED to call the number printed on the check - because they say that whoever answered the phone would have told them that it would cash - and was probably some sort of scam.
I pressed the issue - because I know BoDog is a trust worthy place.
They then placed my account on a HOLD status - FOR 45 days.
Today the first check cleared - and my account was reopened.
I was told that if I wanted to put the other checks in it would be another 45 - 90 hold for each of the checks with my account being put on hold AGAIN.
I called BoDog today and asked that they make a stop payment on the remainder checks and to send the rest of the money via Western Union.
I have asked that I NOT pay any fees - due to the fact that it is NOT my fault that their checks appear fraudulent.
Do you think I am unfair in asking them to absorb the fees?
I don't want my bank account to be closed down again this did cause a hardship on me and my family but one that I managed to handle.
I always believed the checks were fine however - the banking system here in Alaska does not.
So am I far out of my realm asking them to do this? And should they in your opinion do this?
Keep in mind I won this amount in February.
