Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I met this guy last year on e-harmony.com. Last year I went on 3 dates with him and on one of those dates he told me that he made 8k a year and asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and would help me pay off my credit card debt. I had 2 jobs and I told him, "No", it's my responsibility and I don�t need any help.�

I got fired this year on Feb. 22, 2010 and I e-mailed everybody on my e-mail list and he responded in 5 minutes telling me that he needed a Receptionist. I met him at his office and he asked me if I could do him a favor so he could have right off on his taxes. He asked if he could write me checks to my name and to my credit cards. I told him that I don't accept checks from anybody. He said, "You think I'm going to burn you?" I make over $500,000 a year, I need to have right offs for my taxes. He then showed me his two different bank statements that had 75k and another with 50k. So I figured that he's going to be my boss that it will be okay. So he wrote checks to my credit cards. I deposited on a Friday and went on a Monday to withdraw and the banks allowed me to withdraw as if funds were there. I brought him the cash from the deposit and then he had me run errands, leading me to believe that the cards were clear of the payment that he made and had me charge up merchandise on my credit cards. Then all of a sudden he told me that he was going in to have surgery. He then stops payment on all checks and ended up getting away with over 35k in cash and merchandise.

I've gone to the police and the FBI and nobody can help me. I have no proof that I gave him the cash, and I have no proof that I gave him the merchandise. All my accounts are frozen and I have no money. I have receipts, but I have none of the merchandise. I have 2 canceled checks that Bank of America sent back, but I can�t make any of the accounts investigate, because they don�t have a police report. So they aren�t doing anything.

What can I do? I was told to file at the DA's office to see if they will pick up the case. Any advice? I'm lost with nothing and no help. I've been victimized/Defrauded and getting no help. I have no money, because this bastard froze all my accounts and cards. I had perfect credit and now I am averaging 80k in the hole and I can�t file bankruptcy, or I will be blamed for fraud. All transactions were done on my name; I was mislead to believe that he was going to pay for the merchandise. I went to his bank �Chase� and they looked up his account and they said that he did put a stop payment on the checks, but that was all they could tell me.

His information is Jason Geovani Marin, born July 4, 1973. If you look him up, I�m sure he has other aliases.

I need help and nobody is helping me. I can�t even get the Legal Aid Society to get on the phone.
