Re: Fake checks
If you accepted a check from a "friend" and cashed it in your bank, I assume you signed it and therefore are resposible to make it good. If the check was "fake", there may be criminal charges that you can file a complaint with your local police department, with your documation and a statement from your bank, and you can sue your friend for the bad check. However, you, as the one who received the money from the bank, are responsible to the bank. Tom Noonan
