i have been a victim of Internet/mail/check fraud. I had placed my car on auto trader.com found a buyer who turned out to be fake, who sent me a cashiers check for 18000.00, 5000.00 to be sent to a shipper, and now i owe the bank 5000.00 plus dollars. As I now am talking to the attorney general, the police, bank reps, etc things don't add up, and there were a few red flags but at the time i could no longer afford to pay for this car and anxious to get rid of it that i just kind of blew it off but then received a cashiers check so i assumed everything was fine. I asked the teller specifically before i did anything with this check if this was OK to cash. She said yes it is guaranteed by the issuing bank. also found out that the USA credit union out of gains-ville Florida was aware that this was happening and did nothing and contacted no one.) So i am in debt to the bank for over 5000.00 and there was someone who knew about it and did nothing. I don't feel as though I should be responsible for this money because if i issued counterfeit checks the people i gave them to wouldn't be responsible, please help. Now that i look back I feel like an idiot, all the signs were there. Now what can they do if i don't pay the bank back?
