Checks at the post office

I got a call from the postmaster this morning, he said I have a check
in the mail.

I went to Melaque and lo and behold there was the stimulus check I
heard about! I was stimulated

They had a stack of about 30 checks all for La Manzanilla!
I got a couple names and have emailed those people, but others
will have to go in (or ask someone to check for their name) as you
have to sign for it. Don't forget to give the person a propina (tip),
good people there.

About 4 months ago (I am time challenged) I got a letter from the
IRS saying "your stimulus check is here" but there was nothing in
the envelope. I went on the Internet recently and called the IRS,

They said to fill out this form for a tax refund and fax it to them.
The deadline to do that was yesterday, I thought about it but
didn't do it. Then I get this call this morning and its like.....
hmmmmm, interesting.

I know Mexico is the manyana place, but this one takes the cake.

OMG! You didn't email me but I hope my check is in the stack because I was just about to call the IRS again to request a payment trace. Question: How will you cash or deposit a US dollar check in Mexico?

Your name was mentioned and I did email you.

Not sure what to do with it yet, if I can deposit it directly into my
Banamex account or cash it then I will do that. If they won't do it
then check with Intercam.

Banamex won't accept the cheque but Intercam does as I found out today!

Thanks, Mazinka. I responded to the Daniel/Monte thread before seeing yours. Phooey.

I actually received mine months ago! (lucky me)

The best bet for deposit if you have is to use the app of a US bank account like Wells Fargo, Charles Schwab, Chase, BofA. Almost all of them have a digital deposit option.

Or as others have mentioned I have successfully cashed US checks with Intercam but only because I have an account with them.

Good luck!
