my bank flat out told me they could not take a starter check from out of state where the name on the check did not match the signiture. on top of that, he agreed to send a money order and the check was $3 short from the agreed amount. i have now cut up the check, send him a pic of the destroyed check, and informed him that our deal was off. if he is just making mistakes, i'm sorry, but i need to look out for my family first before i worry about someone else.
