[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 95085, member: 484"] While on the subject, I had a NDA COD for a condo complex on my route. The first attempt I left the note, and the center called me about 3 to set up a meet with the customer. It was for about 5 grand and said bank checks only. When the customer arrived, they handed me a check that had Merchants Bank of Boston in the address portion of the check, and had no personal information on the check what so ever. It had the banks name and address on the check only. It turns out that this consignee does not live at the condo, used it as a means to get the delivery, then used a fake check to pass it off to me. UPS tried to get me to pay the thing off since the check was no good. Their stand was that it did not have certified check or money order any where on the check. When I produced several certified checks from local banks that also did not have any certified notations on the check, they backed down a bit, and threatened to take it before the panel. At that time I found out that other drivers in our district had been taken just like I had, same MO and check. Dont know about the other drivers, but I never paid a cent on it. I think it occurred to UPS that I am a delivery driver, not a banker. And if they want me to be able to tell between a good certified check and a fake, then they better train me. Like I said, the issue should not be that the check was made out wrong, the issue is that #1 there could be a check taken on the COD (which has been documented by more than one driver) and #2 that the check is no good. The fact that the check was made out to someone else is totally not an issue to the discussion. If UPS brings it up as a sticking point, that just shows they know they are on week ground and hope to push the driver into paying the COD voluntarily. d [/QUOTE]
