So I got a check for $175,000 from stars while I was away in AC and I tried to have my dad deposit it into my bank account but they wouldnt let him, as he idnt me...how rigged. So I wake up early, around 10:30 am, and head to the bank. I get there and they take the check to the back and apparently are trying to make sure its not fake, which is fine, as I know its real. After that, they call me into a little office and have a confrence. The nice lady then called chexx inc, which apparently issued the check. They are based in Canada but the check was from somewhere in cali, which was odd to them. After they claimed he was a real check, we had to call US bank, which is where the money was actually comming from. The lady from US bank was being a real bitch. We had to verify they had 175k in their account but she wouldnt tell us how much they had. Eventually, she said they have a very large account, which was good enough for the lady helping me. Finally, after all of this, she told me there would be a 10 day hold on the money...rigged. So...it looks like checks from stars still work. Yay. Hopefully nothing goes wrong in the next 10 days before it actually hits mt account.
