PokerStars fraudulent check???

[kidpoker406]

i tried to cash a check i received in the mail today, and the bank told me the account was fraudulent and they couldn't cash the check, nor could they return the check to me as they needed to keep it to comply with the terms of the fraud protection policy or some such thing (i got a copy of it though)

has anyone else had problems with a PStars check? i've never had a problem with them in the past.

is anyone from PStars support on 2p2, that could address this issue for me?(i did send an email to support but have yet to hear back from them)

Why are you posting this? Why don't you just email stars? To be honest I even highly doubt this is true. Stars has rarely ever let anyone down, and if they see the check isn'
t cashed, I'm sure they will take care of you.

as i said i've never had a problem in the past; i was curious if there was some recent devolopment that is causing problems and wanted to find out if anybody out there had any info/similar experiences recently.

I'm a little green on banking matters, but even if the account were somehow fraudulent, how could the bank know immediately? Do they seriously verify every check on the spot? That seems a bit ridiculous.

I would demand they call the police and we/I file a report if they are keeping my check.

What good could come of that? I'm not berating you, I just I dunno. What do you say to police? They took my online poker check?

Sure, why not? WHAT WE ARE DOING IS NOT ILLEGAL!

I would have had to think about it, but I think I would have called the police and said the back stole my check. (I'd tell the bank manager first and give her a chance to give me my check back.)

The bank can refuse to handle the check, but take it????

PS. Not a lawyer, YMMV
