| Post subject: | I got arrested and charged with forgery |
I was trying to sell a wedding dress on the internet and I got an email from a guy whose name is Frank Smith and he sent me a check from his client, Larson William for $3800.00. I was only selling the dress for $800.00. I was instructed by Frank Smith to western union the rest of the money to Larson William in London. I only got to wire $1000 to him and I spent the $800.00 on the rest of my wedding stuff. Two weeks after I deposited the money in the bank I got a call from the bank telling me that the check was counterfeit and they were only going to give me 24 hours to pay the money back. I called them after 24 hours to tell them that I could not get that much money up in 24 hours so they pressed charges against me and I had to spend 7 hours in a holding cell and I have never been in trouble before I am only twenty. I found out that the bank charged me with forgery. The bank thinks that I printed the check out at home. I have all the paperwork and emails to prove that I didn't. My bond was $10,000.00. I have never been more embarrassed as I was that day. I got a lawyer to drop the forgery charges cause I didn't do anything wrong. I was fasley accused. The bank is has insurance on things like that. I owe the bank 1800.00 and I got charged for all those checks that went through and they even sent all my checks to the Magistrate Court saying that I wrote bad checks so I can get charged with that also. I really have no idea what to do. I am so confused. I got a lawyer from was out-of-town. I just need someone to give me some advice. PLEASE!!! I was suppose to get married on June 17, but now I can't cause I have to deal with all this. The bank is even going around the town I live in and putting my name in the dirt. A woman from the bank called a place that I wrote a check at and told them that I was printing checks at my house. |

I'm sorry to hear this happend to you . But when you said (A woman from the bank called a place that I wrote a check at and told them that I was printing checks at my house.) What I wanted to say is if the bank did call around town and you can get one of the people they called to testify in cort you have a case against the bank . A Defamation case they have no right to tell anyone anything they have to prove your guilty . |

I am starting to think that I need to start a section of the website and message board just about what to do if you have been arrested due to these scams. I would do a search on this message board for the word arrested or jail . . . you will find that there are a lot of other people who have been in the same situation as you are in. If you are in Minnesota, contact me privately and I will give you the name a of GREAT lawyer. He helped another victim just recently and it only took a few phone calls and one court appearance and it was DONE! |

Banks do not have insurance to cover these losses |
