It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.<br /><br />For several years , I make money with the help of these programs. <br />I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only. <br />Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise .

There you will find your answer that "refund checks have a different look", and you can find the sample there too.<BR/>url is http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/communications/warrant_format_change.stmsammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126144988326048777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954176568680546255.post-59197819327786464422009-03-05T15:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T15:42:00.000-05:00Upon closer inspection, it emerges that the blog h...Upon closer inspection, it emerges that the blog hosting site (cleveland.com) does have some kind of affiliate relationship with the Cleveland Plain Dealer (although it is not <STRONG>owned</STRONG> by the paper), so it is entirely plausible that a Plain Dealer columnist might have a blog there. Indeed, it is possible that all Plain Dealer writers have blogs there as a matter of course.<BR/><BR/>This still does not explain why a newspaper article would be hosted on the affiliated blog site, rather than on the main newspaper website (plaindealer.com).<BR/><BR/>And it certainly does not negate my earlier observation that anyone, including a scam artist, could easily sign up for a blog on cleveland.com and claim to be a Plain Dealer columnist (and, for that matter, claim to be Sheryl Harris, and put her picture on the article, and so on). I could do so myself. It would take all of five minutes to set up. So there is no obvious way for me, from here, to determine whether the blog post in question actually belongs to said columnist or not. If someone else did create a fraudulent blog in her name, would she even notice? How quickly?<BR/><BR/>Be that as it may, what interests me more is exploring the veracity (or not) of the article's actual claims.<BR/><BR/>For instance, the article says this: <BR/><BR/>"You can find the status of your state refund, see a sample check and get answers to state tax questions by visiting tax.ohio.gov (click on the state-shaped 'Filing Season Central' icon) or by calling the state's refund hot line at 1-800-282-1780."<BR/><BR/>Well, the state-shaped icon is for <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/online_services/thefinder.stm" REL="nofollow">information on local tax rates</A> and seems completely unrelated, but there is a Filing Season Central option (perhaps its icon used to be state-shaped and the site has been changed?), which takes you to <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/ohio_individual/individual/index.stm" REL="nofollow">this page about individual income tax</A>, which does seem relevant. <BR/><BR/>The link to check on the status of your refund is there, as the article indicates (which seems to confirm that I am in fact looking at the page the article refers to), but checking on the status of my refund can't necessarily conclusively verify for me that the check I have in hand is for real. (Even if I check and they say it's been mailed, it could still be in the mail.)<BR/><BR/>The article seems to say that from this page I can see a sample check... but I don't see that, nor do I see any link that seems likely to lead to it (though, again, I could be missing something).<BR/><BR/>There's a link to information about electronic filing options...<BR/><BR/>Oh, look, <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/ohio_individual/individual/tax_info_filing_season_2008.stm" REL="nofollow">What's new for the 2008 filing season?</A> If there's anything new or different about the checks this year, surely there would be information about it there... So, what's new?<BR/><BR/>Well, it talks about lower tax rates... a military retirement pay exemption... a larger personal exemption... a larger medical savings account deduction... municipal and school district income tax...<BR/><BR/>But there's nothing there about new weird-looking checks. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not a syllable. Completely unmentioned. Call me a cynic, but it's almost as if the Department of Taxation doesn't <EM>know</EM> about these weird new checks that arrive early and don't appear to come from the state government.<BR/><BR/>If this check I have <EM>is</EM> for real, somebody in Columbus has dropped a ball after a most terrifically egregious fashion. Sending me a check that I cannot verify is legitimate is almost worse than not sending the refund at all.Jonadabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960094338418224109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954176568680546255.post-24745794325315097502009-03-05T06:54:00.000-05:002009-03-05T06:54:00.000-05:00The thing is, I already looked at the FAQs on the ...The thing is, I already looked at the <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/faqs/" REL="nofollow">FAQs on the Ohio Dept of Taxation website</A>, and I was not able to find any information there about what the refund checks look like, or who issues them, or anything related.<BR/><BR/>In the <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/faqs/Income/individual.stm" REL="nofollow">individual income tax FAQ</A>, I found answers to the following questions regarding refunds:<BR/><BR/>* <A HREF="http://tax.ohio.gov/faqs/Income/individual.stm#3" REL="nofollow">I'm due a refund.
