"Distributors used phony cashier’s checks, claims Pink, and then flew the coop".

According to a news report by our dear friends at Xbiz Magazine (www.Xbiz.com), Adult Distribution Center Pink Visual Entertainment (www.pinkvisual.com), is claiming that it was victimized by two separate distributors that used fraudulent cashiers’ checks to purchase product on COD, resulting in a loss to the studio of nearly $25,000 worth of product.

The company said that once the cashier’s checks were discovered to be fraudulent, the studio tried to contact the distributors but were unable to do so with the information they had used previously. Mail sent to the distributors’ addresses was returned because the locations were vacant.

According to Pink Visual, the distributors also paid for their UPS shipping fees with cashier’s checks, but their validity is yet to be confirmed.

Brand and product manager for Pink Visual, Kim Kysar, stated that the company had no reason to suspect that the distributors were scam artists. “We had no idea,” Kysar said. “They seemed perfectly legitimate. We get new distributors all the time, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary with these guys.

“We do have pretty strict new customer guidelines for obtaining credit terms with us, so we weren’t surprised when they opted to purchase via COD,” Kysar added, “and of course a cashier’s check always sounds foolproof, so we went ahead with the deal, happy to have the order and start a new relationship with a new customer.”

In fact, Kysar said Pink Visual has a strict policy of researching customers, especially when they apply for credit with the company.
