Banks Are Reversing PokerStars Checks

[pe2]

In mid March I deposited 2 checks from PokerStars. I believe they said WellsFargo on them. The check funds were then available and used by me.

Yesterday (almost a month later) - I notice that my available bank balance is hundreds less then the balance. I call the bank and after waiting on hold a while the lady tells me that the funds are being reversed and/or on hold until June 10th because the company that issued them is being investigated for fraud related to gambling.

I'm not sure what is going on here. Is there anything I can do?

Serious?

This is your first post, I find it hard to believe that you are the only person this has happened to out of everyone here who has deposited checks.

Hmm, has anyone had any problems with the checks UB uses?

I am also surprised I am the first one to post this. This just happened yesterday though and I wouldn't have known unless I called the bank. Check your accounts. The lady on the phone said I was not the only one at that bank or even that branch that this happened to. I hope this post can help others in some way.
