Re: internet check scams
You should at least let a lawyer look at your situation. Many people will tell you what to expect from a court appearance not for your benefit, but for theirs. An opposing party is the last person from whom you should be taking legal advice.
Your question seems to show an understanding that you will have to repay something. If you were duped by these people, it is likely that a judge will at least understand that and allow you to make restitution over time.
