I went into a bank branch and had them call the other issuing bank to verify the check before cashing it. My bank even faxed a copy to the other bank. That's when I thought ok this is fine to do.
This is the part of your story that makes me think that you may have a case against your bank . . . when we became victims OUR back told us that we should have contacted the issuing back to verify that the check was good, but it sounds like that was done in your case so that makes a stronger case for you.
If you live in Minnesota, contact me privately and I will send you the contact information for a wonderful lawyer.
If you live in a state other than Minnesota, please contact
