A Stolen Check Problem

[M.D]

ecchi,
In this case, the sponsor's representative was upset from my repeating requests to take care of this stolen check issue by saying something like "I'm not customer support, I'm the CFO and can't look after this issue and take care of it as i have many other things to do"

I would expect the CFO to know who to address when handeling such an issue.

I too believe this is the sponsor responsibility to take care of such issue. yet the sponsor has clearly prefered to simply say "forget about the money"

Knowing they send checks outside the US, Wouldn't it be logical to make the checks marked as "Pay Only To:" ?

Frankly speaking, How can one trust a sponsor to handle such events successfully?

Clearing US cheques in non US banks is a lot more complicated than most "foreign" cheques (I guess this is to do with US banking laws). Making a cheque "Pay Only To:" may make it harder, or even impossible, to cash outside the US.

ecchi,
I also run some gambling sites and get US and canadian checks that are clearly a "Pay Only To:" checks.

Can you imagine an online casino affiliate program saying to an affiliate: Hey, we are sorry for the trouble but your $2,500 check can not be reimbursed.

they take all the required precautions
