I'm going through hell trying to cash out my Adsense check.. WHY?

This is NOT my first adsense check. I have received many checks of thousands over the years, but recently after 2+ years I'm back at it again. So, I received it the other day and I took it to a check cashing place (How I've always done it, except this is a new location).

Long story short, she believes my check is counterfeit / Fake, when we all know it isn't. She asks for a number to call google adsense to verify my check or she can't neither cash it, nor give it back!

What can I do! I need my money and I don't have a clue on how to have her verify the authenticity of my check.

 

First off, she has no right to hold onto your check unless she can prove it is a fake.

Secondly - go to this page where you will find contact details for Google across the world.

Good luck.

 

Take it to a different place
Or simply pay it into your savings account

 

Tricky if the woman won't return it.

 

Thanks for that url PaulSch. Any idea which extension to choose? I don't see the operator mention adsense at any point.

 

I'm afraid I don't know, but contact Google in whatever country you are in and explain the problem. Somebody will surely be able to point you in the right direction.

 

I can't see how she can hold on to your check, if she thinks its fake then surely in any country in the World they have to call the police e.g. forgery is a worldwide offence. If it is not then the police could arrest her for with holding what is legally yours with no right, I'd even go so far as to say if she withholds it then that's theft. I'd go back in the bank and call the police, shame them right in front of their other customers. Let us know how you progress with this one. The first time I sent a clickbank cheque to my bank in the UK in dollars it caused mayhem and took 12 weeks to clear as they had never seen or handled one before.

 

The thing is communication problem.

 

This is misunderstanding i believe your cheque is genuine, check with google adsense team.

 

Can you apply for direct money transfer from Google Adsense to your bank?

 

Why the hell do you let her keep the cheque? If she won't cash it, then get it back.

 

my check is counterfeit / Fake? Try to without your cash in other bank?

 

Change your bank and see the result.

 

Check with your bank again.. see what she said? or find another person to talk to.

 

Like mentioned above, if she can't prove it's faked then she has no right to keep it. Take the police in there and get it back or log in to Google Adsense and have them reissue a check. check out this page to help you request a check to be reissued http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1208356#other

 

Try to request a reissue of check again.
