I came to the US for the holiday so because I knew I was gonna be here for a few months I changed my payment address on two of my internet revenue sources. Google Adsense and Text-Link-Ads, after arriving in the US on Thanksgiving Day I got the check on the 4th of December way earlier than they would reach me in Jamaica.
Here is where the problem started, Now I am ready to cash my checks so I stop by this Check Cashing Store down the road from where I am staying, so I go into the store hand the cashier the checks along with my ID. A few minutes later she hands back the checks to me and say she can’t cash it because it has to be deposit in my bank account. So I stopped by approximately 3 more check cashing stores and got different excuses, then I past this store that says “We will cash any check” so I said “Yeah”. When I stopped at the store, gives the checks to the cashier along with my ID, she fondled the checks for a minutes then took it to this other guy who must be the manager or something then came back to me and says that the checks are Fraudulent Checks. LOL you getting this.. Fraud Checks..
So I went by Walmart to buy some stuff and realize that they have a Money Center so I join the line to get them cashed again but this time not even Walmart couldn’t cash it because I don’t have a Social Security Number. Oh boy what a Holiday in America. You know what I am surprised about is that fact that I have been cashing Google and Text-Link-Ads checks in Jamaica for over a year now with no problems and Jamaica is known as a third world country and America is said to be First World. Hmmm.
