I received a check from this person in the amount of $1400. He/she wanted to buy a cellphone i was selling for $75. I had sent the remaining back through western union and after i sent it, a week later my bank account had been overdrawn by $1386 and some cents. The bank stated that it was fraud and was a scam. I had deposited the check and everything was fine so i was thinking that the check was good. Please help. Thank you.

- This is a very old scam. You should have wondered why someone would send you a check for 1325 dollars more than they needed to? This is just as much your fault as it is the scammers

- ChristieLyn, you need to get a printout of the check from your bank and get it notarized. Then file a claim against the account holder in small claims court for the amount of the check plus your overdraft and court costs. I was contacted by the same people using the same email address on 11/03/2012 about an item I had on craigslist. I sent them my address to mail a check to. If I receive their check, I will not deposit it, but will post their address and bank account number.

- JaWeCo, These checks are ALWAYS stolen. The actual account holder will have no liability if they even exists. The harm has already been done here. ChristieLyn needs to file a police report and repay her bank. Filing a frivolous lawsuit could get her into more trouble (read up on SLAAP laws) She should have been more careful.
