world cash utilities?

Question

whats the deal with me getting a 3300 dollar check? definite scam, but, what if I cashed the check? purely hypothetical question.

Answer 1

I live in the US. I got an email from a "company" called world cash utilities. They offer a type of a position being a middle person. I did respond to the email but instead of giving them my information I requested more details about the job and about the company. I did get an answer telling that they read my resume (which is public on careerbuilder) and that I will get more information about the company via mail, also that it will have a legal contract to start. I never got anything but last week I received a check from a US company. It is a construction company in Florida. I didn't know what it was for so I didn't cash it but then I remembered that and went to check the envelope and was from World Cash Utilities. I then contact them, because STUPID ME thought they didn't sent me any contract and they said it will come to me but if I could check the cash and then transfer it via western union. OK something inside of me was in kind of doubt but I thought that if I went to my bank instead of a speedy cash type place they will know if the check was good. Anyway I cashed the check and no one told me anything at all. I waited until 5pm to see if there was something wrong with the check, nothing came online or on atm statement. I made the transfer and the next day I had a problem the check is on hold. AT THE BANK NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE "PROBLEM" IS, THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A GOOD OR A BAD CHECK. I AM SURE IT IS A BAD CHECK, THEY ALREADY PICKED UP THE CASH I SENT SO I WILL BE LIABLE FOR THIS. THIS IS SO SAD, THAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS IS AROUND. AND MORE THAT CAREER BUILDER DOESN'T PROTECT USERS FROM FRAUDULENT COMPANIES. I THOUGHT IT WASN'T DANGEROUS TO HAVE YOUR INFORMATION THERE, I THOUGHT THEY CHECK WHO THEY GIVE SERVICE TO. I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE WORK FROM HOME AND THAT THEY DON'T WORK BUT THIS IS SOMETHING COMLETELY ILLEGAL THOSE CHECKS ARE STOLEN. NOW I AM MORE POOR BECAUSE I WILL OWE 3000 TO THE BANK ON THE MEANTIME I HAVE NO MONEY AT ALL AND POSSIBLY I CAN BE CHARGED OF SOMETHING. THIS IS SO WROONG!!!!!!!! AND I KNOW IT'S ALSO MY FAULT BUT I FEEL SO STUPID, AND SO BAD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. DON'T CASH THE CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT'S THE COMPANY'S NAME ON IT??? I CHECKED THE ONE ON MINE AND IT EXISTS BUT THEY SEEM TO BE STOLEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ALSO IF YOU STILL HAVE THE CHECK, ENVELOPE AND ALL WHAT YOU HAVE FROM THEM PLEASE KEEP IT........MAYBE IF I DON'T FIX WHAT'S GOING ON I WILL NEED A LAWYER AND EVERYTHING IT WILL BE GOOD IF MORE PEOPLE HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT. I WILL APPRECIATE IT.

Usually on the back where you endorse, there will be some terms of agreement. Otherwise, take it to a bank, and just ask them about it.
