What would you do?

And at this point I guess plausible deniability is out of the question. Is it laundering still if I don't send them their share of the money? At that point I'm cashing a payroll check that was sent to me and unsolicited by me..........right?



















Yes, I know I'm reaching at this point but I'd kill for this money at the moment.

 

No, you definitely said any stupid person that cashes it deserves what they get.

 

if you don't send them thier share, then perhaps it wouldn't be laundering, but who knows what kind of repercussions they would enact against you..... even if you didn't sign up, signing and cashing it could very well enter you into a legally binding contract, even if you weren't aware of it. things are different in Europe than they are here. so who knows.

 

Ganja.......... not to sound at all ungrateful for your advice and input in this because I'm not........ why did you pick today of all days to be the voice of reason? :&

On a serious note, thank you so much for finding that site for me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

 

No, I said "any person stupid enough TO cash said check....."- which implies the cashing of the check is what would make the person stupid.

And about the deserving part, well, I have a low tolerance for stupidity. You know it's not a good idea to cash this check so don't cash it.

 

cuz I have no marijuana to cloud my judgement and make me want to be a tranny. I'm only drunk.

lets put it this way, if it were me, and believe me, that kind of money would keep me going for almost a fucking year, I still wouldn't cash it.

 

You missed the directors cut of that post btw

I'm going to sleep on it over the weekend. This is a serious deterrent, but..... I dunno. I want to curl up in a ball and cry now.

 

Three words n some rambling.

Money laundering.
Feds.


If you still haven't burned the check by now...

If there were no instructions w/the check
in the envelope or printed on the check,
call the bank in fruitcakeland to see if it'll clear
(a legit bank will tell you that over the phone).

If it'll clear - cash it at a check cashing place
other than one you mentioned
giving a vacant lot in another town
other than yours as your addy...

 

My current address is printed right on the check. Then again my uncle owns the house, and I could vacate within 48 hours if necessary. Now I know sending them their portion of the money would constitute money laundering, but as I posed earlier, if I don't send them their portion I've committed no such crime, correct?

I also found this on the site:

"The process is simple. If you were interested in becoming a US partner of Stone,Inc, you would sign an agreement that would make you an official financial representative of our company, able to accept invoice payments on our behalf."

I've signed no such agreement, therefore I am not an official financial representative of their company correct?

 

Signing the check would likely be signing the agreement.

 

Don't they have to make that appearant? That seems to me like signing somebody, unknowingly into an agreement, which would make the agreement void.

At this point I think I'm trying to make myself not want to as opposed to looking for a reason not to.

 

Who knows. The whole thing doesn't seem very legal so who knows whos rules they are playing by. Almost seems like you'd wanna talk to a lawyer before deciding to cash it.

 

True.

Federal case law and USPS regulations (if I'm not mistaken)
support the position anything received unsolicited is a legal gift.


Oh, two more words...
Russian mafia.

 

I'll look into that. Russian Mafia? I'd hope they're not so broke as to worry about four grand. I think I'll do what Lucky suggested and have my dad contact his lawyer.

 

Will do that if Home and Garden comes through with the 2.1 million dollars they're promising me.

Oh, and Jester, I know where the check came from. Ralphs at 340 Arden Ave, Glendale, Ca 91203. Appearantly it's a bank? Either way it's for sure a real check. Like I said the watermarks are on the back and the routing numbers are at the bottom.

 

Not under Texas or federal law...
or that's the way it used to be.

ie: all the bs notes on a check stating
payment in full/ final payment
weren't legally binding.

I've been on both sides of that fence
as an individual and a business...

 

^ haha, this girl is tight....

gotta love harry potter.

 

actually, yeah. but i'm sure it won't change my mind. like I said, maybe in the country these guys are in, you don't have to disclose anything before entering into shit. signing the check is signing the contract...... I know it sucks.... I've been offered many scams before that were so hard to turn down. but I look back and I'm really glad I did. In fact, the one ended up getting in heaps of shit about a month after they sent me stuff.

 

you are strange..... will you mail me some pot?

 

This is taking place in the United States. I'm not required to follow their law am I? I mean it's a check from an American company to an American citizen(myself). I'm not at all worried about them wanting their money....... I just don't need another federal invite to one of the lovely penetentaries around the nation.
