I agree, find a lawyer.  But a lawyer is going to cost money.  Find someone that will take payments or pro bono that way you can tell the Judge you have 4,000 dollars saved up and are prepared to turn it over immediately.  They might be able to drop the charges.

File the report!  Be upfront and honest!  Why would anything come back to you.  Avoiding it will make it look like you did something wrong.  \n\nClose out your account.  Talk to the bank manager and explain what is going on. Usually they will not charge overdraft fees if any apply.  They will be able to look and see where the purchases were made and hopefully stop this lady.  Call TODAY!  and get it taken care of.

Delete all foreign lottery emails and throw away foreign lottery faxes and letters cause they are ALL scams.  +\n\n\nPlease be EXTREMELY WARY of offers by distant strangers to send you a high value (but counterfeit) cashier's check/USPS Money order, and then have you wire the balance to them.  Banks will cash these counterfeit checks/USPS Money orders, but then hold you responsible for the funds when the check fails to clear!

Start by calling your credit card company and freezing your cards. Don't let the creeps use it any more. Also, while yo are on the phone with them, ask them to send you an Affidavit of Forgery. They will usually mail it to you in a few days. To help the police out, ask your company to tell you when and where the card has been used. Get the exact amount of the transactions and any store numbers they may have, including a batch number.\n\nNext, call the police and make a report. Make sure you give them all the data from the credit card company. Having the exact dates, times, and amounts will help them possibly catch the criminals. The problem they have is that security systems will record over their video (usually with 24-48 hours) of the crime. It had gotten much better with the advent of DVR (digital) security recordings, but they still will be erased after a while. \n\nWith all of that said, it's a crap shoot from there on out. Depnding on what the criminals did, they may have screwed up some aspect of your future credit. You need to keep you police report number handy for years to come, I'm afriad. Having a copy of your report can help doubting credit agencies.

Okay I just got a letter yesterday myself.   You said the check is real, did you cash yours??  Is it a scam?  \n\nUPDATE: I am having a friend of mine that works in a bank check into this, they will let me know if its a genuine cashable check.  My concern is that we will all cash these checks and then they are able to trace our account info.  I called the number and the same thing happened to me.  A pre-recorded message came on and told me to leave a name and number after the tone but no tone.\n\nUPDATE #2:  Its a fraud.  I'm not exactly sure how they make out in this, but the check is not valid.  The account number and bank name are correct but the routing number is wrong.  I was asked to forward mine to the fraud department at Chase.

cancell the card like now...and check if they billed you. If they did report as fraud. Get a new credit card

Don't use Wal-Mart.  They sent me checks with the wrong account number and I got screwed.  Then they said it was my responsibility to verify the info I entered on their website.   I would understand if I had a typo, but the bank info as well as my account number are completely wrong.

They took $159.95 from my account a couple of weeks ago. It is a credit card fraud company. They took your info through fake credit card ads online. Then they would take your money as a 'subscription' fee. I got their phone number from my bank and called them, but no one was ever there. Their number is 813-930-7323.\n\nSolution- Call your bank. Tell them that you want to dispute the transaction. My bank investigated the dispute and gave me my money back in one week. I want to sue them for my time and energy trying to get my money back.

Check with your bank to see if the first check has cleared your account. If it has not, put a stop pay on it. You'll probably get a fee for it. You can pass it on to your landlord if you're brave enough. (Not a very good way to start a business relationship!) Once you've gotten the stop pay on the check, just write another one. \n\nIf it has already cleared your account, get a copy of the front and the back of the check. (This sometimes takes a few days.) and present it to your landlord. If he has cashed or deposited the check already, then he's probably lying to you and just wants to get paid twice. If that's the case, better to find out now! I would not rent from him in that case.

This is a scam.  You can contact the successor bank to Warren Five Cents Savings Bank (the institution on which your fraudulent cashier's check is drawn) at (978) 531-7400.  They will take your information and ask you to FAX your letter and check to their security department. \n\nAs I understand it, similar scams work approximately like the one set forth at http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/lottery.asp \n\nDo not cash the check or respond.  Report this to the authorities.

Every welfare and food stamp office has a fraud unit.  Just call your local office and they will direct you to their fraud unit.  Also, it takes time for them to verify the suspected fraud, be patient.  Also, they will contact you for further details if needed.  I had to report someone too.  It took almost a year but they got caught!

First off she can and will be held jointly responsible. Second she needs to talk with the bank and tell them that these checks were fraudently written. Next have her file a police report for the checks. She may want to speak with the prosecuting attorney before going to the cop shop because if she has a warrant they will arrest her and sort out the matter later.

Sounds like a scam to me.  Go to your bank right away and tell them you are a victim of fraud.  They may be able to reverse it.

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

Contact E-Bay, by phone or computer and explain what you have done. This is why you should use Pay-Pal. They will contact the seller and see what he says, also take the receipt back to Western Union and see if the MO was cashed and by whom.. If it has then contact (or  try) the seller. If nothing is worked out then he is a Federal case, and you might point this out to him. transactions over State lines ending in fraud, falls in there jurisdiction....good luck

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).
