UPS Loses Family’s $846K Inheritance, Offers to Refund $32 Shipping Fee
This is about as stupid as stupid gets. A bank draft (i.e check) would need to be deposited, and no doubt the depositor would need a boatload of ID, which then when it was found to be not his draft, lead to an arrest. Or just list it as VOID. How often do people in Canada cash a 846,000 check? This is so, so stupid on so many levels. UPS has damn tracking numbers on the packages and you can see where it was last seen, really?
The second thing: Seems the bank has no confidence in law enforcement to catch anyone whom might try and cash the check...knowing Canada...some government creature probably has it...
Can't they put a stop payment on that check and write a new one?...or is that toooooooo simple?
Furthermore, I have an inheritance that electronically puts money into my checking account once a year.
That's also how my pension and the SS pays me once a month.
