    Just got a message from full tilt saying I shouldn't deposit my latest check (which I did yesterday, sigh...). Here's the delema... do I call my bank and let them know or let them find out and notify me? I use wells fargo. I have a feeling the "where is the check from?" question may arise and I'd rather not give this info to my bank.

    Thoughts?

    Anyone???

    What really pisses me off is there was a little note inside w/ the check saying I should deposit it as soon as possible.

    Why Lie....Just say its a commission check....which it is :)
    no need to call cause there is really nothing that can be done.
    Fulltilt will credit your account w/$ so to cover the overdraft anyway.

    Or when you deposit they charge your account twice, only put 1 in your FT account, don't bother to give you anything for the inconvenience, or return the 2nd charge to your FT or bank accounts

    Same thing happened to me today. That little note inside the check was a fire alarm going off for me. Gets me worried about future withdrawals. They sent me $100 for the inconvenience and gave me my monies back. I did re-request a new check since they said it would be fine. But im gonna have to sit on that one once i get it as well. Just to be safe. Online poker in the US is starting to become a problem when it comes to gettin ur $$$$ out.

    My checks from FTP always come with a little slip that says something like "we strongly recommend you cash this as soon as possible."

    None have bounced, yet anyway.

    sigh...
    I just got the notification. I cashed out on 9/30, deposited it on the 8th, and just got the notification. Bank records show it bounced today and they removed the credit amount. The extra $150 is nice but it still means I'm going to have waited a month to get my money.

    I'm thinking it's better now to just eat the $40 charge I get by the banks to have the money wired, esp since FT is basically paying for that and more now. It'll be faster and won't have to deal with it bouncing. Anyone else going this route now?

    Luckjj... no mine was white and not pink. But it did say, "deposit it in your bank account right away." My check was from a CitiBank account. I then called the reference # on the check and the guy on the phone was from a Medical Company. He said (from me giving him my check # from the check) that that account had been closed due to some fraudulent payments that account has been made. The funny thing was it was a Medical Payment center from Orange, Ca.. 877-480-3688. Im now gonna just save the check to see if it matches future checks. Because this one also looks like past checks that ive cashed.

    my thoughts are you should talk to your GOVERNMENT about changing the rules that fully go into effect December 31st instead of blaming ftp or any other site.

    Clearly the GOVERNMENT'S fault that they can't refund my deposit that was charged twice or bother to email me back about the situation

    a buddy of mine was charged twice as well, that was his 1st time depositing on FT, he wont deposit there again, especially after i told him checks been bouncing there left and right.. isnt withdrawing the most important part?

    I used a wire transfer after my check bounced when they had the problems back in May or June. My bank charged me a $50 fee for it so I went back to paper checks. And now they're bouncing again. Which is the lesser of two evils?
