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

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?

Anyone can sign a check over to someone else, so the second person can cash it, or deposit it. It's not uncommon, really.

Right, if the check is signed and it was lost, someone found it and cashed it... they are out that money... a endorsed check is the same as cash....

That is a terriable way to do someone you have befriended. I guess they think good friends are a dime a dozen and will move on to the next one.

BUT, a lot of "friends" are only friends so they can set you up to screw you over... then they move on to the next one.
