mariejose Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 HI GUYS AND GALS,--YESTERDAY I RECIEVED A FOLDED POSTCARD LIKE CHECK MADE OUT TO ME FROM FOREIGN CURRENCY FEE LIGITATION SETTLE FUND. THE CHECK IS MADE OUT TO ME IN THE AMOUNT OF $18.04. HAS ANYONE ELSE RECIEVED ONE OF THESE CHECKS? THERE IS A WEBSITE WWW.CCFSETTLEMENT.COM TO GO TO FOR FURTHER INFO. I HAVE'NT HAD TIME THIS MORNING AS I AM AT WORK. I BOUGHT MOST OF MY DINARS THROUGH E-BAY, BUT SOME THROUGH 5/3RD. VERY CURIOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3keepfaith Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Be very careful. By endorsing and cashing it, you could be commiting to something that you are not aware of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnbplanet Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Is there any small print on the back of the check, where you endorse it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOUBLESCORPIO Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 It was a lawsuit against credit card companies that charged a currency conversion fee when you used your card to buy or shop out of the United States, nothing to do with the IQD.

mariejose Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Is there any small print on the back of the check, where you endorse it? BACTUALLY THERE IS NO LINE TO WRITE ON LIKE SAY A REGULAR CHECK. ALL THERE IS IS MY ADDRESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CARD ON THE BACKSIDE. It was a lawsuit against credit card companies that charged a currency conversion fee when you used your card to buy or shop out of the United States, nothing to do with the IQD. HMM THAT'S REALLY STRANGE SINCE I PAID CASH FOR ALL MY DINARS. Be very careful. By endorsing and cashing it, you could be commiting to something that you are not aware of. YES THANK YOU FOR THE CONCERN-- MY RADAR WENT UP ON THIS TOO. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW THESE DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sann Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi All, I just read somewhere about a new scam that people should be aware of. I can't recall where I saw it I read everything, but it stated that small checks were being sent to people out of the blue and if you deposit or cash it at your bank somehow, they are gaining access to your acct' information. Research it on the computer. Be safe not sorry. Go RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h20man Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am a new member to the site but wanted to respond to your post. I too received a check in the amount of $18.04 and never cashed it. It's from Foreign Currency Fee Litigation Settlement Fund. On the face of the check it does state "THIS IS A CHECK" without an endorsement section on the back. Very strange - never cashed it. What was the collective opinion on this one? Should I shred it?

missdyl Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 According to Snopes, it is legit...if you Google it there are several mentions of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariejose Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A LAWSUIT REGARDING FEES THAT WERE WRONGLY CHARGED BY CREDIT CARD COMPANIES FOR PURCHASES MADE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES BETWEEN THE YEARS 2000- 2006. I CASHED MINĘ BECAUSE I DID MAKE CREDIT CARD PURCHASES IN MEXICO DURING THAT TIME FRAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
