UPDATE!!!!!!! If anyone asks you to cash a check for them....

[Medusa]

Excuse my ignorance but why can't the police arrest her? If she wrote a bogus check on a bogus account, isn't that fraud?

[aTailOf2Kitties]

did she ask you to do this verbally or thru email?

[Catty1]

Donna, I am so sorry this happened to you.

I don't have to guess who it is, do I?

{{{{hugs}}}}

Great that you have an understanding bank...at least when hell happens, the angels appear.

File a police report.

Pardon my ignorance, too; if the check came to you via the mail, isn't that mail fraud? And what an awful thing for someone you trusted to do to you.

[moosmom]

It was not a check that she wrote, as she doesn't have a checking account. It was a check made out to her by Sun Trust Bank out of Tennessee.

If I file a police report, I'd have to drive quite a ways to appear in court if she is arrested.

If ya wanna know who it is, just PM me. If you want to guess who it is, feel free to PM with your guess and I'll tell you if you're right.

To tell you the truth, I was very angry at myself for being so stupid.

Because she sent it to you through the mail, I bet you can have the case tried in Connecticut, where you are. It is mail fraud as well as just plain fraud. I'd call the Connecticut Attorney General's office.

aTailof2kitties,

She asked me verbally.

[Karen]

I spoke to a family member who works for the Post Office (I have several), and he said to contact Connecticut's Postal Inspector. That way the charges are federal, and may be brought in Connecticut, where you are.

Glad I read this. I would have never imagined someone doing this, guess I'm just as gullible. At least now I'll be forewarned. Sorry something like this had to happen to you, leaves a bitter taste in your mouth when it's a friend.

If the check was made out to her, how could you cash it? Especially for that amount of money?
