i fucked up and took a check
let this be a lesson, ladies and gentlemen: never ever take a check from someone you work in an adult film for. I took a cashiers check from a bank I was familiar with and it turns out the check is fraudulent. The company has yet to offer me an explanation. I've contacted a lawyer and filed a complaint with the FTC.
Anyone have any other advice? I can't believe I was so stupid.
Re: i fucked up and took a check
I have no advice but, I feel for you.
I hope they get hung for that bullshit!
Re: i fucked up and took a check
A cashiers check I dont blame you - I am suprised they would take a chance like this is the comapany boded or anything , license ?? Anyone else you know who got the same deal ? Thats a bummer - Im a dude so I would most likely go fuck someone up but thats just my first reaction - and yes I would get a little stay at camp snoopy if they caught me .
Re: i fucked up and took a check
It sounds like you got f*&ked twice, unfortunately. Fly by night adult video production companies have been known to disappear without a trace. Unless you've got the real name, real address etc. of one of the producers, you probably haven't got a prayer of tracking this outfit down and getting your money.
Re: i fucked up and took a check
A forged cashiers check is probably a federal banking crime and is serious stuff.
At first I thought on this thread that you made a business decision (for credit reasons to a good customer) to take a personal check. A forged cashiers check is a kind of rare occurance.
Re: i fucked up and took a check
Oh my GOD! That is horrible! REALLY horrible! I hope you end up finding the f*ckers. :(
Re: i fucked up and took a check
I feel for you. I work at a bank-like place, and unfortunately this kinda sh!t happens and makes everyone involved look bad.
Better luck in the future, I hope it turns out for the best.
Re: i fucked up and took a check
Blackball these motherscratchers. Maybe not here, but elsewhere....you were not the first and you won't be the last they pull this kind of stunt on.
The best part is the trouble they caused for themselves by forging a cashier's check will FAR outweight any amount of money they saved by cheating you.
Best of luck in the future.
Re: i fucked up and took a check
Why dont you go back to the person who gave you the check and ask "what the hell did you give me?" and say you contacted your lawyer.
Bring a big friend with you to be safe. :D
Re: i fucked up and took a check
Even a cahiers check can be stopped. It may not be forged. See "Winning Through Intimidation" Rober Ringer. Any check you get not from the government, take it to the bank drawn on and present it in person for CASH. Don't deposit it, you just risk racking up fees.
