Rose Foster send me a check and let me change to cash to give her. I don't know the check is fake, I just want to help her. but after 2days the money in my account is still unavailable, I suspect it is scam. the worst thing is, the bank will charge me for the fee about return check. it is unreasonable to do that because I am the victim. the bank should protect their client, right? they knew it is scam but still charge me for the fee. unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No it is your responsibility as the depositor to make sure your transactions are authentic, How is the bank supposed to know you are depositing a fake check? Don't get scammed and this won't happen. Easy money is how these advanced fee scams hook you. Sure it sounds really easy, You get a check for X dollars and all you have to do is put it in your bank take what they promised you and just send them the change. Why didn't they cash the check themselves? No it is not unfair you get charged for this, I don't want the money I give to my bank going to bail people who fall for this crap out. Unfair is you expecting someone else to pay for YOUR mistake. No one to blame here but yourself.

  • it sounds like you are the scammer. The bank should know the cash or check is fake or true, that's what they job! they made it , if it can be made by anybody, we don't need to work just need a printer! it is unfair to pay for by the victim, that's why the scammer has the way to scam kindly people, if I want the money, I won't send other back to her, just like you! the bank is making a big mistake, they use this way to earn money from clients. you money isn't pay me, even they charge me for the money, they will not give you this; even they will not charge me, similar they have no reason let other clients to pay for the fee, because fake check doesn't affect bank and the banker, if they cancel the bad rules, the scam will disappear . Definitely!

  • Lynn take some personal responsibility, you got greedy and tried to make some easy money. You got scammed and now you are pissed off. You are the exact reason the banks must do things like this and charge people for bounced and fake checks and currency. This was 100% your fault. 30 seconds of research online would have told you about the scam.

  • if I sold you some fake things, do I have to charge you for extra money because you don't know it is fake??? The check should be made by bank,not any body, it is same to cash! if you got fake cash from mall and deposit into bank, do they need to charge you for that? suker!

  • OK Lynn, When you deposit that fake check into the bank, they in turn present that check to the issue bank. When the issuing bank says that is not a valid check they charge your bank for the time it took them to investigate and figure out the check is bad. The bank in turn passes that fee onto you. That is why the bank charges you. As for cash the bank check all incoming bills to ensure they are not counterfeit. If you present fake bills they will never be credited to your account and no other bank is involved. If you accept a check like that ALWAYS take it to the issuing bank and try to cash it. You can find out right there if it is real or not and no fees will be charged to you if it is not. If you can't get to the issuing bank then DO NOT TAKE THE CHECK. This is not rocket science just use some common sense. Now as for research it is called an advanced fee scam. You can find warnings about them on ebay, amazon, craiglist and any other reputable site that lets individuals buy and sell items from each other. This scam is as old as they come. It plays on peoples greed and laziness. It sounds like a great way to make some quick cash and they are NEVER EVER true. Pay the money you owe to your bank and try not to be so trusting.
