I'd say that if HSBC told you to cash it, you should do exactly that - in person, at a branch, demand cash.

I'll bet they'll tell you then that it won't clear.

Bank of America became famous for arresting a guy who tried this very thing, after he warned them he thought it was fishy. --Milton

This is when you go to your neighborhood friendly check cashing/bail bonds storefront and let them keep the 10% vig.

I had a friend who owned the neighborhood friendly check cashing/bail bonds storefront and the vig was only 1 or 3%, and then after all the scammers (mostly counterfeit paychecks for truckloads of construction workers on the same job) got the money there wasn't much left. Not much in a local business like that, and then folks can't understand why the business owner wants to frisk and background check every single transaction...Doesn't seem like much vig to me for all that.
