Just curious if anyone knows about this to make sure it is not scam mail.
... I got a message from the Gen Con Finance Department that I have to reply to some "BILL" link to accept Direct Deposit to a bank account if outside the U.S. in order to get my event payout reimbursement. Is this legit or is Gen Con going to send out Cheques as in the past? I live in Canada so is this a must now to get Direct Deposit only?
Thanks.
Correct, it's been like that for a while now - they can't sense checks internationally.
There may be other options available, like paying via wire, though there may be fees involved. Finance can give you the full run-down - you can reach out to them at [email protected], and copy [email protected] if you want to keep the Event Department in the loop, as well.
