Are cheques by mail from MFC in discreet envelopes? / New model Skype mistake

[Aubreylux]

I would like to receive my cheque by mail from MFC but currently live with my parents. Is the envelope discreet? Any return address? Does it say MFC anywhere? Can you tell that it is a cheque?

If the envelope isn't discreet, what would you suggest the best way to be payed (in Canada) would be? I only need it for one payment of about $1000 as I've decided to come back to camming later on once I've moved out on my own, and once I have done more research. I didn't exactly know what I was doing and had only been camming for 2 days and I stupidly made a Skype account under the same name I use on MFC, had a member look me up and message me asking if I would do a Skype show for him. I told him I could only do it for tokens upfront and he kept insisting I do it and he would pay me afterwards so I began ignoring him. But since I had already messaged him he was able to track my IP address since I didn't know about using VPNs. He had my city and postal code (not exact but very close) and was threatening to post it if I didn't do a Skype show for him. I didn't do it but it scared me, and since that happened I'm too scared to log back on and continue camming. I do enjoy camming and want to get back into it eventually but just after I have more information and ways to protect myself.

Last January Skype made it so your IP would be automatically hidden. When was the last time you updated your Skype software?

I have no idea, it's just been on my laptop forever.

Don't give into the scumbag trying to blackmail you, if he keeps up the harassment point out that cyberstalking, cyberbullying and blackmail are serious crimes in most parts of the world. Just as he has found out your Ip address, Microsoft (Skype) has records of his Ip address, Mfc has his details as well, all of this is traceable by police back to him.

Generally bullies target the weak and vulnerable, as soon as they see you can stand up for yourself they will leave you slone

I would start of by having this bicycle seat sniffer reported to MFC and having him banned.

Can you have MFC send the check to a PO box, or a trusted friend's address instead of your own?
You could even set it up for direct deposit. Use a separate account at a different bank if you have to.

Since you cant get a direct deposit if you're in Canada, Payoneer is probably your best bet for cashing out. When it's deposited all you see in your bank account is "EFT Payoneer". Payoneer is used by many online companies as a payment option so what you tell your parents if they question you is up to you.

As far as Skype goes, there are many VPN services which you should use when signing into Skype.

Definitely get a VPN and login to Skype, and possibly delete your Skype account (you can use the chat feature to talk to a customer service rep and it takes about 5-10 minutes and they're super helpful)

I haven't received checks from mfc in a few years, but when I did they arrived in plain envelopes. The return address had their corporate name, can't remember what it said at the moment but I know it was not obvious. But since it has been a few years it may have changed.
