[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 502732, member: 12570"] Dilli, if you feel in your gut that something just ain't right, you most certainly have the right to not accept the personal check; however, I would most definitely call mgt and run it by them first (in the pkg car away from the consignee). If you are directed by mgt to accept payment, simply note that in the remarks column and complete the delivery. I would be hesitant to make that call on your own. Going back to what red said, the drivers should not be held responsible for accepting what each of them determined to be legitimate checks. We are not bankers nor have we been trained in that field. It would have been one thing if one driver had accepted these checks but to have 3 drivers accept these checks should tell you that the checks did indeed appear to be legitimate. Short of installing CheckSecure or some other software on our DIADs, perhaps we should simply stop collecting anything other than certified funds but, as in the thread on NDA scams has shown, cashier checks can be counterfeit. I am hesitant to suggest that the company install credit card software in to our DIADs but do see the day where this will become reality as more and more people are going cash-less and using plastic. At 3 minutes per COD pkg there simply is not enough time allowance given to have to deal with these issues. On a positive note, I have noticed a decline in the number of CODs that I deliver. I think part of that is we keep increasing the COD charge and consignees are beginning to realize that if they put it on their credit card and pay off the balance each month they are actually saving money.
