What about a check cashing place???
Hey FootDr...I see you are also in Texas...the other day I went into one of the ACE Check cashing stores - I've gotten friendly with one of the people that work there because I re-load my prepaid Visa allot there - he was telling me about someone who came in the other day to cash a big win "at one of the online poker sites..." I didn't want to say something stupid, like, "What, you mean you guys are CASHING these checks???" but that is the impression I got - has anyone tried this???
I received three checks from 3 different casino groups, all issued from same processor. Called the number listed on the remitance page attached to the check, a man named HANS answered, I asked if I could cash this check at a u.s. citibank branch. He began asking what the check was in payment for, including could the funds be from a casino, I evaded the question without answering. He advised me NOT to deposit or cash the check as it may not be honored on his end. He needed to contact "his superiors". I gave him my email address and phone number at his request and he said he would get back to me in 48hours to tell me whether the check was good or not.
I personally do not believe these checks will be paid. I suggest no one deposit them until they are advised to be either the casino or the company issuing the check.
This is definately not good news. I waited and waited for ACH payment from 2 of these groups and got a check instead. I did not want a check.
