For What It Is Worth..i Just Cashed A Check From Out Of The Country And It Took 4 Weeks To Get Credited To My Account. My Bank Said There Have Been Many Bogus Checks Comming Thru The Last Year, So They Wait Till It Clears The Bank In The Other Country Till They Credited My Account....good Luck............g.
I have had them take 4 weeks to clear also, it sucks. Thats why i like playing at books that will let you withdraw western union, the fee is high but you get cash in your hand.
I know a guy that had a 65,000 check sent to the secratary of defense and after interugation the check was returned to the book for some sort of security reason with the usa.
