An old woman buys a cashier's check from her local bank payable to her daughters account at another out of state bank.<br /> <br />"enough dough to buy a new Range Rover".<br /><br />She then mistakenly mails it to the wrong address, upon discovering her error she then approaches her local bank and asks them to put a stop payment on the check, which at the present time has not been cashed by anyone.<br /><br />Her local bank refuses to put a stop payment on the check, not until after ninety days, they said to the old woman, the only other way to go if you don't want to wait for ninety days is to purchase an "indemnity bond".<br /><br />Where do i purchase such a bond? asks the old lady.<br />I don't know, replied the bank official, allow me to make a few calls and find out how we can help you, i shall call you and let you know, it may take a couple of hours.<br /><br />True to his word the bank official calls the old lady and tells her that she has no alternative but to wait for ninety days before they can put a stop on her check, providing that no one has cashed it.<br /><br />What about the bond? asks the old lady, the reply was, i don't know where to get those from, but after ninety days we can stop the check and proceeds to hang up the phone after reciting a few seemingly polite pleasantries.<br /><br />This old lady is my neighbor, and i would like to help her, but i don't know where to start.<br /><br />I think that it is wrong for them to let this woman wait around and possibly be defrauded like that.<br />Is there not something to be done that can help her?
