Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Scam ?? NFC -

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Larry (and Doug) -

Yeah, you're right - as unfair as it may seem, if I deposit a check that bounces I'll be charged $35 (at last count !!) so the best thing to do is ignore it - then if the sender does contact me and ask for his money back I can send the original MO back - which he probably won?t want.

 

I'll ask him for postage naturally.  ;-^

 

Speaking of bank charges - how can they justify charging a customer $35 or more because a check bounces?  All the banking stuff is done electronically AFAIK there's no labor cost involved - certainly not a hours worth of a $70K salary! 

 

That's where the real scam is!  But life goes on.....

"If it's a fake, no harm done."  I've never heard of a normal checking account where the bank doesn't impose charges for bounced checks.  Even though you propose not to deposit any other funds in the account, you're going to have an unhappy bank which is certainly going to seek a way to make you pay when the money order inevitably bounces.
