BCanr2d2 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 See, the thing with this is that every person I know, always writes not negoitable on cheques. As far as I knew it was never on their to void it, more if the cheque was lost in transit, and couldn't be deposited by someone other than the person on the cheque.....

CapNColostomy Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Originally posted by Alegis Gensan Summary? Aint reading +6 pages :\ I guy got a junk mail check in the mail for 95 grand. It said non-negotiable on it. Just for a laugh, he wrote have a nice day, and put a smilie face on it, and deposited it into his account, hoping the people that sent it wouldn't send him anymore checks, after seeing that some moron tried to cash it. Well the check went through, the bank, the guy that sent it, and everyone in his family raised hell with him to return it. So he studied banking laws, found out that they had went over their time limit to inform him the check was no good, consulted an attorney, he said the same, so the money was his. He was going to return it anyway, but the security guy at the bank was being an ass. So he kept it, as far as I know. I got tired or reading about it.

Astrotoy7 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 i didnt read it all but i get the gist, someone at the bank mustve got their a$$ kicked..... cute kitty though * * * let me relate a nice story here though. When you are below the poverty line here, you acquire the patronising title of 'aussie battler' if you are being portrayed or described in the media. One such fellow, with 3 kids, had just lost his job and been evicted from his rental property. He gave his kids to his mum to look after, and himself lived in his car, driving around from town to town, looking for work he had found $2 in his car($2 here is in coin form btw) so with this he decided to buy a 'scratchie' lotto ticket. needless to say he won $250,000 !!!! so, this ended up as a half a minute feel good story on a current affairs show... the interviewer said that he'd like to film the guy scratching a ticket, sort've like a reinactment type thing. Funnily enough though, the ticket the guy bought and scratched for that ended up winning him $250.000 too it was quite funny, the look on the guys face, followed by him saying "I dont f****n believe it !" nice mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 what was funny was the story about the woman who used coupons to buy a car for those who didn't read that part.... a car salesman sent out coupons for $500 off any car in his dealership. well what he had forgotten to do is put on these coupons ‘only one per customer’ so you can guess what happened.... a woman collected as many as she could find and then bought the most expensive car on the lot with nothing but coupons of course the salesman kicked up a fuss and it ended up in court, but the judge ruled in favour of the woman.

Sivy Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Originally posted by Alegis Gensan He gave it back? He felt bad for those junkmail dudes? it wasn't the junkmail dudes that were closing out. they reported the error to the bank as soon as they found out. the bank had to pay the junkmail dudes' money back. so it was the bank that was out 10k. if it was the junkmail dudes money then he probably would have kept it... i know i would have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MennoniteHobbit Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 This is such a stupid yet somewhat funny story. That guy had to tell his story in 6 pages, rather than one... now that's sad. Something similar quoted by Darth_Groovy on IRC That guy must be one of those who like to hear himself talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 good read I know I would have kept it even if it was the banks money. Yes, I am a greedy sonuva bitch But seriously, not lying, I would have paid off any debts my mom and dad had, bought myself a computer, a car, some other junk, and then give all the rest to charity. Dunno which one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
