Call the bank and verify the funds.  The number should be on the front of the check.

i agree with Delbana - STOP PAYMENT on the check if ti's a personal or contact whoever gave you that check to do likewise, IMMEDIATely.  First look very hard for that receipt! If you can't find it, schedule a meeting with the bank officer in charge. If that doesn't resolve your problem, every state has a Banking Commissioner that you can get free help from in a dispute with a bank.  Every bank is required to 1) issue you a receipt for a deposited check, 2) make a photocopy of that check on a daily microfische-like source, and 3)return said check - to you if it was a personal one (altho' many major banks have done away with returned checks, but are stilled required to give you that photocopy) or to the check maker (your job, etc). If it involves a lot of money, banks have cameras over looking every teller and you can get a lawyer to sequester those tapes to protect you(but the Bank Comm. is free, give him a chance first).

You need a lawyer.  Best place to start is to check the Yellow Pages for attorneys that give free initial consultations.  Sounds to me like you have a legitimate case, and a lawyer can request the name of the individual who cashed your check for you.  If the bank refuses, it's possible that the laws of your state will allow you to have a judge order the bank to release that person's name.  Even if the police refuse to charge this person with forgery and bank fraud, you can still file a civil case against this person for the amount of the check plus court/attorney fees and any inconveniences you suffered as a result.

Yes I had that happen yesterday. Telecheck is an electronic way of processing your checks, they send it through the computer and based on your banks routing number and your own account number it contacts the banks mainframe to verify that you have the amount in your account to cover the check you just wrote. it then puts a hold on the funds and you get your check back voided out. Walmart and a lot of companies are starting to do this now because of having problems with too many people writing bad checks that bounce like a rubber ball and then not being able to get in contact with them to collect funds that the store(s) were shorted. All in all it comes down to keeping the honest people honest, unless you live in a state where they have laws that if you write bad checks you can be arrested for it and proccessed for fraud.

Not sure what you mean.  If you lost your checkbook and are concern that someone might use it.  You can go to the bank and report it.  They usually will open a new account for you and close the existing one.  If your bank charges you for checks, then, it might be time to go with Washington Mutual's free checking.

Send me a check for $50.00 and I'll tell you what you can do about internet fraud. Email me for more information.\n\nSeriously, it depends on what type of fraud. I was a victim of it by receiving a phoney cashier's check for a peice of musical equipment I had to sell. I went to cash the check at the bank, and as a result had my account shut down, and wasn't allowed to open an account at any bank for months until it got straightened out finally.\n\nGo to the police. Ask them what you can do. They will probably give you the same answer they gave me the first two times. "Nothing." They are all lazy fucking pigs. But make them do something. \n\nReally it depends on what type of fraud, though.

Was the deposit in cash?  If it was a check or money order, obviously you could present the cancelled item for verification of the correct amount.  Good luck.  You would think that the stamp in the passbook, which the bank entered, would be as good as a receipt, but I don't know for certain.  Actually, I didn't know they still issued passbooks.

I think you have a legitimate complaint. How did they get you banking information to begin with?  I think if you authorize them to take money out of your account they should have your voice recorded giving them permission to take out the $600.00, on whatever date it is they took it out on. Get your information from the bank and call them back and turn the tables on them and ask them who gave them authorization to take the money out on this date, and that you want proof of it. You will be coming in for the proof and taking it to your attorney to review. If you are able to pick it up don't tell them you are going to your attorney until they hand over the proof. Also, ask them to highlight where you gave them permission to take this  extra $600.00. If you ask for the proof and they can't come up with it they will have to put it back in your account immediately. Make sure you tell them so. If they won't put the money back into your account and they give you a paper that is showing proof that you didn't authorize you will have to get an attorney. I hope not but they can't get away with doing things like this. Also, threaten to call the local newspaper and tell them what they did. See how they like that. You could also call the police and ask them if you have any recourse with this company. Usually going on the news scares the daylights out of them because it hurts their business.

then tell him to mail it to you, IF they say there is a "processing fee" tell them to go fucj themselves.\n\nIf they do mail it to you, deposit, and WAIT until the check actually clears your account.\n\nThe other option is to call the police in the area code and ask them if they are aware of this company, also the Better Business Bureau.

They need to confirm the bank number and account number. You just write VOID in BIG LETTERS on the check so no one else can use it. It's not a big deal. Good Luck! And make sure you enter it in your register as voided.

Basically it boils down to the fact that HE signed YOUR name. That constitutes fraud. Not whether it is a joint account or blah blah blah. That indeed is forgery. Now the fact that he just did a deposit shows that he was not being malicious. Is the money still there? No harm done. If it is gone, then hit him with the forgery charge.

Call the police and file a complaint.  Kiting bad checks is illegal.

Yes it is legal... In some states. as long as the federal necessary checks and waiting periods are met.

You have nothing to worry about. There is a statute of limitaions that is well past. If it bothers you so much, send the company the money for the check, but I am sure they do not even have a record of it any more!!!

You could work in a research department for a bank.  When deposits are lost you need to find where the money went.  When fraud is done on an account you need to "investigate".
