reviews and complaints

note it was a visa gift card you complaint is with visa gift card service most stores carry these cards and have no access to the cards they passed your info to visa but in most cases if you are the original purchaser you need to go to visa with a copy of the recept and see what can be done if the card was given to you ask the giver to contact visa or give you a copy of the slip these type of cards are new and still being worked on if you wish to give a gift card as a gift get a dept store gift card or just give cash in 5 years new rules and safety issued will be put in to play till them becareful what time of card you buy and read carefully your rights which no one does and ends up suing the wrong firm

Just received a check in the mail like many others, based on what I have seen here. Glad I saw this first, before I went and tried to cash this check. This is obsurd that, with our economy, these people think they can get away with this!

I received a check for 949.00 stating deposit and send to Marilyn Ritchie 402.00 for commission. It says the will send the rest of the grant money of 9501.00 after you pay them. I see scam all over this letter attached to this check. People beware of these scams.

Rec'd an "official check" for $979.45. Checked online and discovered many people who have received this fake check.

My name is Mark Z. Escamilla. I am a private investigator in Houston, Texas, Harris County. I am defending a man who was scammed by this same deal. Your postings are very helpful and help people in trouble. Thanks for the posting. My client is actually facing criminal charges. Not sure why the District Attorney does not already know about this scam. Oh, that is because they do not care.
Mark@Zuri-Investigations.com. I hope this helps case the case against client dismissed. I hope someone puts a stop to this scam.

I received my check also for $988.26, right away knew it was a fake. Problem is acquiring peoples SS#. These people should also proof read and spell check their letters, horrible spelling. DO report this to your local authorities.

I got the same check just a few days ago for $977.88. It tells me that I need to send the commission to someone named Lisa Procter here is her scam website, www.lisaprocter.biz or www.listprocter.net. I have reported this to my local news station and their consumer reporting department to investigate, everyone else should report theirs as well. They prey on people who really need the money badly. Such a bad fraud, and they are using McDonalds name as well in this .

I received the same check. Did a little digging and found this site. I applied at Green Dot, but then decided not to go through with the rest of the application. Maybe Green Dot needs to beef up their security, because scammers are getting peoples social cesurity numbers from their site.

My husband received a the same check yesterday, so happy I found something on it. cant believe people actually do this!

I am in KS and got the same check today, the amount of my check was 957.00 and the same lady wants me to send her $410 in commission...my check is using the Banco Popular Bank of Chicago Illinois, and is also drawn on the McDonalds French Fry Trust account...decided I better research this, saw this post and confirmed this is a scam...

can I use my greendot card visa one day before automatic deposit posts as a credit?

I have been using my Greendot at the local Post Office to purchase money orders for my rent for the past 6 months with no problem. This month I went and my card was declined. I assumed it was too close to when my direct deposit went in, so I waited to try again the following day, same results. When I contacted the CS for Greendot, they said I couldn't use it for that, and would need to go to Wal-Mart and buy a MoneyGram from them. I explained that I have been using it right along, and they told me there must be a problem with my card. After several minutes of arguing they put on a "supervisor" who continued the argument, explaining that I never should have been able to use it for that purpose? I got really heated and told him that I don't support W-mart and will not under any circumstance even walk into a store, let alone make a purchase of anything. All he could say was "Sorry, that's what you have to do". No other option, no explanation as to why it won't work now when it did before, notta. Nobody ever contacted me to say I was using it wrong, nor does my contract say I have to go to W-mart for anything. Now instead of walking 5 minutes to the post office, I'm supposed to get a ride 10 miles to the w-mart to pay my rent? Ridiculous I say. This is a Visa card that is accepted everywhere a regular Visa is accepted, except the post office for a money order. The CS department sucks, I had talked to at least 5 different people over 2 days, not one spoke fluent English or could explain why the sudden change to my card. I asked them to look into why and have a tech contact me, they wouldn't. I asked for a manager to call me, they didn't. I will lose this card as soon as I'm back on my feet as it no longer suits the purpose I had purchased it for . . Greendot sucks!

The cards could be faulty and there website requires you to put in your SSN so that could be also, plus if you type the infomation in too fast it will not work ether I am not sure why but this happen on other websites with me ...

mine is a bigger story then this first i bought one from walgreen. it was a substatute card. i tryed to use it but couldn't so i called to get it activated it worked. then i tryed to register to get my money on the card no good. so i kept writing to greendot and got nothing.. i waited for my real card when it came i tryed to register it but my card number was no good. so i couldn' even sign in to get in touch with them. some how i finley go in touch with then through e-mail well guess what i end up getting a nother card. soooo it didn't work also. now i am stuck with 2 cards an no account im trying to grt them to take back both cards an give my 20.00 dollors so i guess i've gotten riped off also.. people don't get suckered in read all complaints. thank ya all alice

I read somewhere the you have to wait until the permanent one shows up in the mail to be able to use it at Redbox, ATM's, etc. I too tried to use the one I bought at the store in the Redbox, and the card was declined. I just got my permanent one with my name on it (and billing zip attached, which I think is what you need) so I'm gonna try again next time I go by the Redbox.

You can use it anywhere that greendot allows just because the strip is gold does not mean it will not work I use mine on a bluebox movie rental place got my tax refund and went to get a reloader for it and NO PROBLEMS, the only con is no email address for the company !

maybe you don't know what the procedures are, my green-dot card is used anywhere, use it as a debit card, when you sign up for the card, you can choose your pin code by phone or online, also you have to buy green dot money-pak and enter the activation code on your green-dot account online, very simple.

You don't need the receipt -- you just need the reloader pack.. Throw the receipt away -- flip the reloader pack over (that thing you bought for $4.95 or whatever they charge for them now), use your thumb or a coin (quarter works best) and scratch where it says to scratch (you know, like a scratcher lottery ticket)... that will reveal your money code (or whatever they call it).. then just log into your account and you can use that code to load the money onto your green dot card. Not difficult... You can also reload via the phone using that code and their automated system... Simple. Not a scam.

My MoneyPak card won't load. MoneyPak 800 number does not recognize the number. Cannot talk to a live person. PayPal no help. MoneyPak cannot verify address. I requested a refund after two hours of frustration. PayPal needs another company to load money onto its site. This has been a nightmare!

Moneypak is a scam... I purchased a card for 300 bucks to transfer to paypal and it wouldnt transfer! I called money pak 5 times and they couldnt help me. they told me to call paypal so i did but they couldnt help me. Its suppose to be convenient right? That is the whole point. Well, nobody could help me so they issued a check to me and took my $4.95. I didnt even get to use it. Now I have to wait 7-10 business days to get my money back... What a scam and a rip off!

Yes you can, it worked for me! Good luck!

Same thing happened to me yesterday. me and my wife went to walmart to buy groceries once at the cash register i added a moneypak of $25 to use on ebay. Anyway, i did not read the back of the CARD until we got home and realized i threw away the receipt, i mean how many of you keep the receipts of the groceries? after google search of my issue i found this site and readring all this posts i think i'm screwed, unless like one of the posts says Walmart can print me out a receipt if i take my card to them. I'll try as posted and come back with an update.

Did you buy yours from Walmart? I was told a few hours ago that the Walmart ones only have the number on the receipt.

Are you talking about the card that comes with the original package? You can use that card until your new card (it will have your name and card # on it)comes. I don't understand how you were not given a receipt though, every time I go to put money on my card the store always gives me a receipt. However, if you still have the packaging that the card came in that can also be used to register your card online. If you don't have the packaging then maybe if you go to the store that you bought the card from they can help you but if not then you really did pay for nothing and that sucks.

I disagree with you all. Why do they give you a card when you can't make use out of it? Why can't the CARD number be on the CARD?

In my case, I was never given a receipt, and now I have this worthless card. I paid 34.95, and now I have nothing.

Yeah, I have to agree with the others on this one. That was really due to negligence on your part and your son's part. However, it seems weird that Walmart wasn't able to get you copy of the receipt unless you didn't bring in the MoneyPak. The Walmart's here in my area of Florida can reprint a receipt from the UPC code off the back of the MoneyPak. You could try that and if that doesn't help you then you should get a refund for the MoneyPak since the store shouldn't be able to dispute you having bought it there even without a receipt. Good luck in your pursuit of getting your money back.

Hi I'm Dxxx Fxxxxx

I went to Walmart to cash my check. Showed I'd and put into their terminal my Social security Id. number and cashed my check and loaded $100.00 onto your greendot card.
Seems your company placed a block the same day which I was not aware of. So I called your call center. They demand I fax my id's to their California 866 number.
Thou i explained that i showed my Id at time of purchase.
I have received in my postal mail at my address the personalized debt card
Your terms can request verification of information
They can unblock the card to let me use it since it is a Personalized Card you sent to me up to the amount on the card, according to the terms.
The suspicious activity reason given to me seems bogus as the card was evidently blocked the same day.
I am willing to bring my id's BUT not copy them and send them over the internet to some unknown fax number, and because, for the criminal NASA to have access to that private information stored on their servers forever, to protect my privacy.
Again I will go to any facility in my home town including a law enforcement or attorney office and have them call you/ you call them and I will show my I'd to them to verify.

This is a reasonable action on my part.
Otherwise please refund my money of $100.00 asap to my address of

Thank You

Green Dots response...blah blah blah blah

Dear anonymous, My son read all the terms and conditions and yet the thieves still stole $80.00 from him. Still waiting on the refund check. They are liars and thieves and will be exposed. If I have anything to do with it.

I purchased A Greendot MasterCard at Walgreends (Paying $50.00 cash plus the $4.95 fee) as a gift to my son.
The card package says one can use the Temp card after calling the 800 number, and waiting no more than an hour. However, when he went to use the card, there was no money "on the card."
Calling Greendot for help is a joke! Their computer just sents you round and round. After two hours tying, I got a human who said I would have to fax all my paperwork to them and they would call me back in two days! They called back and left a message to call them at another 800 number that one has to try to get passed the computer to get to a human. When I got to speak to someone, I was first told the paperwork (All receipts I sent) were useless in finding out why the money was not on the card. I then said I would take the problem to a higher level-now the card was found and they said the money was now on it! But, next day, card still shows a "0: balance.
I have now filed a complaint to Walgreens.
Buying a Greendot card is a gamble!

You should read all terms and condition before buying the product. Green dot cards works for people who actually know how the card really works. Make sure that you're purchasing the correct package because a lot of times you tend to buy the incorrect package. Most of the irate customer about this product are proven that they have committed the mistake and not the company. There are merchant that greendot doesn't deal with for security reason. By purchasing the product, you are entering a contract that you accept all terms and condition applied by the company. So please make sure you you know what you're doing before complaining...

We truly apologize for the inconvenience. Green Dot has experienced significant fraudulent activity when credit and debit cards were allowed for the purchases of Green Dot products. In order to minimize this fraud exposure, losses to our company and to allow us to continue to offer our customers the best possible pricing Green Dot requests retailers not accept credit or debit cards of any kind, including Green Dot cards, for the purchase of Green Dot products. We have done our best to communicate this to our customers by including the statement “Cash Only” on our new card packages.

Additionally, we would like to clarify that Green Dot Prepaid cards are personalized reloadable financials tools that require customer identity verification and are not gift cards. Is it important you understand this distinction so you can provide the best gift for your intended recipient.

I made a mistake and purchasing a green dot prepaid card, I thought It was a card that I could put money on and go, I was celebrating a friend's birthday, and I had to wait for the card to come in the mail, they gave me a number and expiration date and cvc code but I couldn't completely use it until I had the actual card... my friend's birthday was a ended in complete confusion and I will never mistake a green dot card for an instant prepaid card.. it's was a nightmare...

We do apologize for your experience and the misunderstanding with our product. Our cards are reloadable prepaid debit cards and not gift cards. They are financial tools that are meant to be used over and over again. We have made every effort to clearly disclose on the package that these are not gift cards and that personal information is required to activate the card. Additionally, there is a temporary card included in each package that can be used immediately upon successful activation and until the permanent card arrives in the mail. We understand our card may not be for everyone and customers can request a full refund by calling the number on the package.

We will send you a direct message to assist you with processing a full refund for your cards. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

My dear, it's a pre-paid CREDIT CARD. They need all that info they are required by law to get that info from you... ANY company offering a pre-paid credit card or regular credit card will ask you all that info. The law has them do all that because of the attempts of money laundering people do with them... Think about it, if they didn't ask people could funnel money from point a to point b with no problems -- of course a lot of people would just pay their bills, but there are those who would use it to funnel ill gotten gains... I have a green dot card, have had it for years. Not a scam. I use it every month.

I fully agree. I bought a Green Dot Moneypak card and tried to activate it but the number is nigh impossible to find! I HAVE the receipt AND the card. Problem is, the card says to use the number on the receipt, the website says to use the number on the card...and NONE of the numbers are being accepted. (Despite saying they're open 24/7, the phones are apparently only manned by useless robots who cannot help you, and tell you to call back during OFFICE HOURS). So, after fumbling through the website with almost NO clear instructions on it, I found a different phone number, which is their help line, and guess what? THEY are closed too! I hereby declare a lifelong boycott of Greendot Moneypak on my end, and will recommend to all my friends and relations to NEVER EVER use Greendot for anything, as well!

i have had a phone call saying we won X amount of money and all we had to do was purchase a green dot card. now they are still telling us that fed ex will be at our address before noon with a package? anyone had this happen i think it might be a scam

I purchase a green dot reloadable card which had already been use and when I called them they requested I send in the receipt and copy of the greendot in which i did and I am still awaiting a refund and arguing back and forth with them this is so BS and I will never use or recommend Green Dot to anyone its been over a week

GREENDOT MONEYPAK SUCKS! AGREE, NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER!

i called them 4 times on friday and was told and would be another day got mad and all of sudden they had my money for me

ive used a moneypac and the numbers after i scratched the numbers arnt readable on wed wait one day on thurs fax them copy one more day fri well call you in 4 hours nothing no call

Well basically the card was sent out from their facility because you were informed that ir;ll arrive 2 weeks prior to the expiration date. Sometime the problem lies with our Postal Service. Mails aren't coming on time or they are lost on transit. We should not blame them for this mess. With regards to the representative with thick accent, well we all know that most of US companies nowadays are outsourcing from foreign countries to cut on their expenses.I hope everything works well with your card

LOL! My wife and I just received one of these scam checks in the mail and I just notice on top that it says, "CHAHIER'S CHECK" not cashier's check. What a maroon...

I received a check today from Marilyn Ritchie from the Mcdonalds French Fry Trust. Check came from Banco Popular in Chicago, Illinois. Also stating that it was a grant fro the amount of $10 thousand dollars. Wanted me to send her a 4.08 commission. I'm tearing up mine.

i RECEIVED A CHECK FROM THIS PERSON CLAIMING THAT THEY HAD A GRANT FOR ME FOR THE AMOUNT OF 10, 000. i WAS very fortunate i did lose not any money... after i deposited the check i decided to look in to this company on the internet. I found all the complaints and i called my bank and they were able to stop processing the deposit so no informationwas given to this person. I am not working and my financial situation is very bad. But thanks god nothing came of this... thank you to everybody who have share their esperience so others like me where able to avoid being scam. the check was issued by bank of america... gotta say the check looks very real.

My check came today, for %965.33. Asking for 4.07% ($407). It is also from Marilyn Ritchie. Supposedly mine has N & W Enterprises on the check, too. (Under signature) I even looked to see if N & W Enterprises exists. I found nothing on that company at all. It's from MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. PO Box 9476, Minneapolis, MN 55480. I was suspicious, to begin with. after searching & finding this site, I'm more than convinced it's fake. I'd suggest making a copy of the check & letter. You can then contact the FBI & send them a copy. If we all do this, then the scammer may just be caught.

I just got the so-called "Official Check" [protected] [protected] [protected]
RIPPED IT UP and hope they get their karma for scamming people

I have a check for 944.00 from supposely greendot aid plan, marilyn ritchie saying that i have a grant for 10, 000.00 and waiting in an office. I did in fact sent the money pak for 404.00 which was going to be her commission but canceled it after i saw this complaints, can some one help me, or who can I contact so i can be able to fix this issue. Dont want to make a mistake and end up losing money from my pocket. If some can help email me at luismiranda89@hotmail.com

I just got a check for 1, 509. 75 on Jan 16 of 210 form Marilion Ritchie what a jerk how can they get by with this crape people should get what they have comeing to them this is a joke let's hang this idiot mine is signed by Mark briggs he the one on the check notery.

I am a long time mortgage professional, specializing in comprehensive financial analysis, helping borrowers get the very best home loans at the best terms for their specific situations and goals.

Yesterday a client called and asked to come see me this morning. After discussing his file here he said he wanted to ask about something unrelated to his loan. He then showed me a check from E & W Enterprises, drawn on US Bank. The check has the usual watermarks and graduated color background. The check was signed by Jennifer Marlo and the letter accompanying the check was signed by Marilyn Ritchie.

The letter states that recipient has been approved for a grant in the amount of $10, 000. The commission to Ms. Ritchie for securing the grant is represented to be 4%, i.e., $400. Ms. Ritchie goes on to tell the recipient to deposit this preliminary check in the amount of $944.55 into his bank account. Then, pay the $400 commission via a commercially available Greendot card to Merchant ID#8549. She states, once that's done the balance of $9, 055.45, which is "waiting in our office" will be sent via overnight air express delivery. Until then the balance of $544.55 is his to spend however he likes, she wrote.

I'm a strong believer in there being no free lunch and if it sounds too good to be true then it almost certainly is. I trust people but even after reading the fine print, always find ways to do independent research to validate information BEFORE signing anything. I try to educate my borrowers to do the same.

After reading through the letter I warned my client that even if it were an authentic check, running it through his bank would give the sender his bank name, account number, and routing information. That alone was a great concern. So, the first thing to do would be to call US Bank and determine whether the check was authentic with sufficient funds in the account to pay it. If so, perhaps there would be an argument for presenting it directly to US Bank for cash.

Well, there are no US Bank retail branches in Tulsa so we called the closest one listed, in Joplin. The manager there said they're familiar with this scam but that the checks she's known of have been written on a Bank of America account.

I gave her the routing number [protected], and learned it belongs to First Interstate Bank in Helena Montana, not US Bank at all.

There have been charlatans, criminals, con artists and crooks probably for as long as there have been humans, but this scam is especially offensive, with our country in a tenuous but apparent growing economic recovery, so many people out of work and at holiday time too.

The US Bank branch manager agreed to accept a copy via fax and put in motion all the legal action available to the bank. Since the US Postal Service is involved we're notifying the US Postal Inspector General, the US Attorney's office, Minnesota, California, and Oklahoma's Attorney Generals, the Better Business Bureau, and FBI.

After all of that I wanted to take a minute to post here. I hope it helps prevent other victims as well as catching and stopping these villains.

I too have a check in my hand. Thank you for posting this awareness, I just ripped it up.

Thank You for posting the info on this scam. I was very leery when I received the check since my husband got scammed out of almost $1900 a couple of months ago by a ### on craigslist. My husband was just trying to look for work since he got laid off his job and that money we had to pay for the scam wiped us out of the little bit we had. Now we are really struggling because of it and this check looked real good right now, but I am now very untrusting of anything. I sure hope they get caught and locked up. But if not, it gives me great pleasure to know they will burn in Hell for eternity for what they are doing to innocent, struggling, hurting people.

My son received one of these cards for his graduation. Had a terrible time activating it. Told the woman NOT to send us a permanent card, as he was going to spend the $30 on the gift card, then leave for college. They insisted that it had to be sent to us, and it would cost us about $7 per month for every month he doesn't have at least $1, 000 on deposit. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Here is a kid with no job, no money and no way to pay this. They didn't care. They said he would have to cancel it when it came. That was a joke. It took me three days to cancel it. They wouldn't even let me cancel it for him, even though he was away at school, and I was the one who activated the card. What a freakin' pain in the butt. Rep suggested I make a conference call with him. Right! Had to be creative to get it cancelled. DON't BUY THESE CARDS!

next time try using a coin to gently scratch off the coating and not your one tooth, ###!

earlier this year I purchased a green dot pre paid card well I needed to use it again yesterday to pay my insurance so I called to ask what the status of my account was and they said it was overdrawn by $9.90 ok that's fine they also told me if I added the funds to my account using a money pak I could use the account. Well I go to the store I purchased a money pak and the card that I have does not match my account number and now I can't get a refund on my money and my insurance is not paid. This was the hugest inconvenience I have ever experienced in my life! i have to either choose to get a refund wich will take 7-10 business days or add the money to the card and wait for a new card to come and since my insurance was not paid my policy has been cancelled. I am furious right now someone has to stop them.

MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF TOWN SO HE GOES AND BUYS 3 RELOAD CARDS AND CALLS ME TO GIVE ME NUMBERS TO ADD TO MY CARD. ONE WAS FOR 300.00 AND 2 FOR 500.00. I LOAD THE 300.00 ONE AND THEN IT SAYS I CAN'T LOAD THE 2ND ONE FOR 24 HOURS BECAUSE IT CAME FROM WAL-GREENS. SO THE NEXT DAY I TRY TO LOAD IT AND THEY SAY IT HAS ALREADY BEEN LOADED TO ANOTHER CARD THAT WASN'T MINE. THEY PUT ME OVER TO LOSS PREVENTION DEPT. AND THEY TELL ME TO FAX COPY OF RECEIPT AND RELOAD CARDS AND IT WOULD BE PUT BACK ON MY CARD WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS. SIX DAYS GO BY AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND SO I THREATING TO GET A LAWYER AND THEY PUT SOMEONE ELSE ON PHONE. SHE THEN TELLS ME BECAUSE MY "GREENDOT" RELOAD CARD WAS USED ON A ACCOUNTNOW CARD THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. I ONLY HAVE A GREENDOT CARD AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME INFORMATION ON WHO HAS THIS ACCOUNT THAT MY 500.00 WAS LOADED TOO AND NOW MY POWER HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND I HAVE 7 KIDS HERE. THE POLICE JUST TOLD ME TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION ON THE COMPANY AND I'M GOING TO DO IT TODAY. THEY TELL YOU IF YOU LOAD 1, 000.00 OR MORE IN A BILLING CYCLE THEY WAIVE THE 4.95 FEE THAT MONTH AND SHE TELLS ME ON PHONE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CANCEL MY CARD FOR LOADING 1100.00 THIS MONTH. ISN'T THAT WHAT THE CARD IS FOR TO LOAD MONEY AND PAY YOUR BILLS? IF ANYONE HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF BY THIS COMPANY PLEASE EMAIL ME AT PRINCESA_2U@HOTMAIL.COM CAUSE I WANT TO GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THEM..THIS COMPANY RIPS TOO MANY PEOPLE OFF AND THEY ARE A SCAM!

Please help

i recieved a check for 979.45 and like most Americans i was excited to know i had a free money grant. I did as they asked and deposited the check. I deposited this check into my account and it bounced my account. Now the bank wants me to pay these fees that are out of control totaling $127.00 for money i didn't even recieved. Marilyn Ritchie is who sent this to me and if you recieved something like this than beware of this fake check going around. i'm glad i didnt send them the money requested 400.00 thru green dot.

We apologize for the inconvenience. If there was an issue with a MoneyPak you purchased, you can get help at https://www.moneypak.com/Help.aspx -Green Dot

Yes, I received a check also, both my husband & daughter told me to check on line about this check. Thank god we did and seen the complaints about the checks. We are in the same financial problems. So please DO NOT cash or deposit that chek

I hope that someone finds this Marilyn Richie and puts her in jail after she is made to pay all the money back that she took from hard working americans that don't have the money to be taken from them, some of us have house payments and food to buy with that money. I to will be pressing charges to this women.

Thank you for posting this! I also just recently received a check in the mail. Thinking it sounded too good to be true I decided to research the names online and came across your complaint. Thank you for putting this online and stopping me from making an awful mistake! I am also going to turn this check in to either the post office or the bank and report check fraud. Thanks for all of your help and I am sorry for all of your troubles. I will also keep you in my prayers!

Jennifer from North Carolina

I too got the same fake check. Please contact me if we can all rally together and put this Marilyn Ritchie behind bars for scam!

Boy am I glad that I did some checking. I wasn't sure about the whole thing the first thing I did was try and get the web address they gave and found that there was none. I sure could of use that kind of money and looking at all the comments so could a lot of people. I feel bad for some who got the scam. I came so close in doing the same thing running to the bank.

Thank you for posting this. I got my check today from McDonald's French Fry Trust. Sent to me by Marilyn Ritchie. I know that things were not adding up when reading it.
