I put in for a withdrawal from hollywood via fedex (was sent right away as usual from them

) and received today.However, something was strange with the fedex envelope. It was opened as well as the envelope inside containing the check. It had tape on it that said "opened by usa customs". Has this happened to anyone else? should i worry? i have received many payouts from many outs over the years and this is the first time this has happened. Any feedback will be apprecitaed. thanks

thanks general but i should have made the disclaimer that i have posted under the name "enoughisenough" in the past but my computer crashed and i lost my password. I have been away in vegas for a month (hence the name) and have not posted. Anyways, its good to be back posting and talking to my buddies

How will you cash the check is more of a worry.
IMHO

i usually cash them at the local check cashing place so there is no record in my bank account.

I had thought of doing that--about what kind of fee do they charge?

As for open envelopes inside--i have had the same thing.

What are their limits on the amounts of the checks? And what do they take for collateral?

there is less of a paper trail if you cash the check at a check cashing place instead of your bank?
i mean can't the govt find out some person cashed X amount of dollars in checks in a year regardless of where you cashed your check at?
i figure if you don't deposit your check at your bank and you just cash it, that would be good enough or at least as good as cashing the check at a check cashing place.

If the Customs people opened it-there is a record. GUARANTEED

Has anyone tried going to the sportbooks(for example costa rica) and getting cash from them if the amount is too high?

If you are carrying more than ether 10,000 or 30,000 you best be telling them, or faces some problems if they were to find out.

May I ask where you cash it? 1.3% is low
