Was sent an $85,000 to deposit into my checking, my new bank returned the check. Bill wanted me to go into the branch and get the branch manager to give paperwork to me to give to him. Probably to make a better fake check for the next victim. He told me over the phone that they have been in business for over 40 years and they have an attorney to fight the returned check with my new bank. Bill Manson wanted me to deposit into my personal checking account, after the problems with my credit cards and the closure of 13 credit cards, I was not going to give him access to my personal banking info. I thought a new bank is best. I am owed over $15,000 in compensation, commissions and credit card returned payments over and above the limits of several credit cards.
