About 3 yrs ago, my girlfriends brother came to me and asked me to deposit a check for $3500 into my bank account, because he just moved back to town, and that was his final paycheck from his old job. I then deposited the check, and after it cleared, withdrew the funds, and paid his money to him. THE CHECK CLEARED THE BANK!! Then a few weeks later, the Investigator at the local police dept called me saying that the check was a fraud, and my bank acct was frozen. To this day, they froze almost $1000 of my money, and I haven't heard any more about it, Is there a statute of limitations on this, so I can get my money back, because with gas prices, you know it will be used, lol... Please someone help me with this problem.

If I'm right you got $3,500 from the bank (through some sort of bad check) and have paid none of it back. The bank then froze your account in the amount of $1,000, leaving a balance they are out of $2,500.

Yes, they can do this; I am surprised they haven't sued you in Court, obtained a Judgment and filed a garnishment against your wages.

Someone - and I realize it wasn't you but you're the only one they can get their hands on - got $3,500 from the bank and didn't pay it back.

I'd be very unhappy with the girlfriend's brother.
