I am a victim of check fraud . I cashed a check I received from ABS Plumbing in Alabama. The Funds were supposed to be partially used for surveys of plumbing businesses . Part of the money was supposed to be deposited in an account accessible only to me for travel to different parts of the country to conduct these surveys.
I cashed the check at a check cashing facility in Jersey City. When I found the check to be fraudulent, it was too late. I spoke with one of the owners to make arrangements for paying the 3,900.00 back. I made an initial payment of 1650.00 in April and my intention was to complete payments by the end of May. I have not been able to complete the payback. I sent a 470.00 payment to Jack(via insured mail) last Friday . He brought a letter to my home refusing the payment. (The payment was in paychecks.) He also told me in his note that I had until June3,2008 to complete payment OR ELSE. He says he will file fraud charges against me.
I have reported the scam to the FTC and National Fraud Organization.
What should I do next?
