Can I use a contribution check that I found, that someone else have lost?

I found an American Express Gift Cheque on the floor of my local supermarket yesterday. It is not signed, and there is no road for me to determine a rightful owner. (However, as of now, I own an ad contained by the "Lost & Found" of my local Craigslist to try and find the owner, and I have investigated the Amex website but solely see resources for buyers and cardholders.)

If I do not find the rightful owner, I'm guessing the "Finders = Keepers" principle will go into effect. (Or, I could newly shred it if my conscience won't let me sleep at darkness.) If I decide to basically keep it, does anyone know if near are any legal ramification for spending it or depositing it? Such as, if the owners have reported it stolen or lost, can I grasp in trouble for using it? Or should I only just consider myself extremely lucky?

FYI, the check is for $100.

If i foot NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC will it disappear past its sell-by date my credit report?



Answers:   Call American Express & report it found to them. Someone may have already reported it lost/stolen & if you change it, you could find yourself into some seriously hot water for fraud.

I copied that from their website on the connect below. I'd call that number to find out if the cheque have been reported. If that's not the right number, I'm sure the Amex agent will administer you the right one and/or transfer you to the right agent.

Can anyone narrate me what dual credit checking is?


Go to the customer service desk and ask if anyone have reported a missing gift check.

The character is far more likely to check next to the store than on craigslist.

Check with Amex to see what happen if someone loses a gift check.

Check with the lost and found at the supermarket to see if anyone call in to inquire on it.
