    Check Fraud
    Hello,

    I need some urgent assistance on the issue. Pl help me out.

    I am on F1 VISA in USA, new to USA
    Last month I was doing a part time job,

    Where I was made to cash checks and wire the money through the

    Western Union/Money gram,
    The checks were cashed instantly by the bank(Bank of America) but
    Those were bounced in a week,my account is seized and I cannot operate.
    I called the customer care they said the investigation in going on
    For check fraud.

    I need to know, how do I get out of this and Now when I open a new account with the Gaurranty bank, they say consumer report on your Social is based for your new Account rejection/closure.

    I have all the documents/fed-ex couriers/names of sender/addreses/emails related to the part time job check senders,I can send these to be investigated. But if ask the bank agency, they may sue me probably

    I really need to get out of this, to be legal and good. Pl suggest me.
    This is very important for future employment also,

    Regards
    Mathew Wendy

    Was this some sort of check cashing scheme, one of those schemes where you get a check, cash it, keep some of it, mail the balance back to the person who wrote the check?

    Otherwise I don't understand why your job was to cash fraudulent checks.

    Hello,

    ThanQ for the reply!

    The part time job was to cashing clerk/agent. 2-4 hour work
    The amount of check was 4500 USD and I had a balance of 500 in my bank of America Account.

    And the Account was held in Georgia by me,
    Now I reside in Colorado.

    Pl Suggest me, IF I can file the bankruptcy as student F1 visa or pay partial amount to settle and go to police/investigate further.

    Best regards

    I still don't understand how you got your hands on a bad check. And, yes, this could get you deported if you are found guilty. It sounds like a scheme where - as I said - you cash the check (or deposit it), keep some of the money, send the balance to the person who provided you with the check.

    These are all, of course, schemes.

    Financial insolvency can also get you deported.

    You need an Attorney.

    Ok you don't understand, it was not a job, it was a crook, all of the checks or money orders were fakes ( sometimes they do a couple real ones to hook you)

    Don't cash another check it will just be bad also.

    The worst thing is they will put you in jail if you don't pay the money back to the bank.

    There is no such job doing this, never was it was all fake.

    They will never really pay you 10 percent or something to do this. There are real companies bonded that do it for 3 percent. But really checks can be deposited anywhere in the world, I mail a check from here to Africa or Russia or Japan and they merely deposit it in their bank.

    All of the names and companies are fake,

    This is the best and most well known fraud and illegal thing going,

    You will never see this money and you will be sued and maybe even put in jail if you don't pay this money back

    Fr_Chuck is right. This was a scam and you fell for it hook, line and sinker! As noted above you are now responsible for all the fake checks you cashed and yes you will have to pay this back and possibly face criminal charges
