After losing family’s $846K inheritance, UPS offers to refund $32 shipping fee

[shockedcanadian]

In Canada. If I am him I start doing some investigating into any files held by the security apparatus, this is a common dirty trick of socialist countries and their surrogates. You don't want anyone to be free and succeed? You can find 1000 ways to ruin them in a socialist country. Notice the federally regulated TD Bank refuses to give him his money. Does this make sense to anyone!?

Then the bank wants him to sign off for the debt if someone else cashes the check. Huh? Then he signs, they demand a lien on his house for the money that is legally his!

I'm glad to see American media is paying attention to the socialist threat North of them. Pay attention, this is how socialism looks, in a banking system that is thoroughly state influenced and infiltrated. Easiest way to destroy someones life.

Wow. Just wow. This is crazy. The TD should have some legal method to cancel the draft and replace it with a new one. That man and his sister have to lawyer up like yesterday.Sue their asses off.

ETA: When he hopefully gets his money I hope he goes to a credit union to make his deposit.

What a dreadful loss and dreadful way to lose it.

Here is the thing, TD bank absolutely has recourse. I used to work at a bank and we have had to refund 100s of thousands to customers due to fraud, we don't just tell the client they are SOL. We certainly wouldn't tell them they need a lien for their money to be returned. Sometimes it is even a grey area. We generally ear cases like this where PR destroys us, and many banks are being hit with bad PR lately.

Also, anything above $10,000 has to go through FINTRAC due to the risk of laundering, terror funding, fraud etc. Does anyone think that if someone comes in with a Certified Check for $850k it doesn't have to pass any checks and balances? At the very least they have to provide extensive I.D and then they face fraud charges when the bank confirms the money. If I walk down the street and find this, they are suggesting I can just go to a bank and ask for this in cash please, open the vault!

Just as in Canada if I find $10M accidentally transferred into my account I cant just go spend it in some form of ignorance. These cases have been proven to always go against the spender, not the bank, how is this any different?

As far as I am concerned this is on the lawyer to repay, he was the steward of the money. Responsible for it getting to it's intended owner. So something is not right about this, somewhere along the chain and I always suspect the RCMP or their pals since I know how they operate. If I am him I start driving for answers and looking under every rock until the patsies at the bank capitulate.

Terrible story. And so easily preventable. Off the top of my head I can think of several ways:
a) Bought insurance from UPS for the amount being transported(pricey but possible)
b) Had the origin bank wire the money directly to the man's bank
c) Had the attorney deposit the draft in the local branch of the man's bank in person.

Again, which is why I am suspicious. As a lawyer who has a fiduciary duty to ensure this money is given to the appropriate owner, why would he send such an amount via UPS?

In fact, there are 1000 scenarios of fraud here, if we are to believe the Banks extreme presentation of the scenario. The sister and lawyer could be in on this together, or the UPS driver and one of them. Maybe one of them cashes this in an overseas account and launders it back, or someone holds onto the check for a few years until after her brother is paid and they double dip the money.

Even for state run economies like Canada oozing with covert police in our banks, this story is incredulous.

If it can be done, a lawsuit needs to be filed. That is way too much money for them to get away with losing!

God bless you and the family always!!!

My question is what kind of a moron sends an $864K CHECK.?
Never heard of wire transfer?

Any lawyer on the planet is going to double register the letter and INSURE the contents for the amount of the cheque.
Something is smelling like an ONION!
