Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

Bank Fraud

I asked my bank to hold a check because I received it through an internet opportunity andwasn't sure it was legitimate. They cashed the check and now say it is fraudulent and that I am responsible for it. They have now frozen all bank accounts and say they will arrest me if not paid ($9,500) within 10 days. I have automatic deposits/debits and don't want them to take my money when it comes in. The Attorney General/FBI say I am not responsible. Please advise how to stop them from taking my $2,300 in direct deposits coming later this week. I was told by the AG to close the bank accounts and hire a criminal lawyer. Bank won't allow me to close. Can bankk do this to me?

Re: Bank Fraud

Why don't you contact whoever makes the direct deposits and stop them? You could open up an account at a different bank and have the direct deposits sent there.
