If its "technically a ... check", and it has account number and routing numbers on it, and you're passing it off as a check, and its not a check, that's call Check Fraud and the Federal Trade Commission will be interested in you very soon.
- Also, they are not required to accept a non-standard check (at least in America where this SovCit probably is) and have not had to for decades. People have done things like carve a check to the IRS into a boulder and the U.S. government got sick and tired of it.
  
  Well, I think the US Government has to accept those weird checks, as do banks. There's 7 or 8 check components. Technically, I don't think your name or the bank's name is necessary. The routing number and account number will probably find you.

  That doesn't mean the bank won't close your account after you deposit your rock or potato or whatever.
  
  I never heard of this! Interesting
Dishonorable, you say?
- That's what I was coming in to say. Where do they think they are, the Klingon Empire?
  
  Glad to see I wasn't the only one with that thought. Qapla' !
The convoluted logic to get from “this is how much money I owe” to “actually, that’s how much they owe ME” is so wild.
It's like a grown adult who still seriously believes that Santa Claus is real, and genuinely plans their budget around the idea that they'll just ask him to pay all of their bills at the end of the year lol
- You mean Christians???? Lol
The world may never know.
...what this guy is talking about.
I think none of them are actually insane. They all know they are attempting a scam and hoping it works. The reason is that absolutely none of them would take a remittance coupon if they were selling something.
