Legal Question in Banking Law in Arizona

Banking Fraud

I had a friend from my work, who had asked me to cash a $5100.00 check for him. He said he didn't have a checking account, and didn't have any form of ID to cash his check. I agreed to put the check into my account. When I withdrew the money, he had given me $500 out of it. Now, my account has gone negative, and I have just started receving letters on this matter in the mail stating that I will be sued for the money. I know of a few other girls who he has done it to. I have tried to contact this man, no answer on his phone. I have his name and address. I need to know where to go from here, whether to file a police report. What to tell the lawyers/collection agencys that are calling, etc. Thank you for your help.

Re: Banking Fraud

You will likely need legal assistance. Collect all the contact info you have on him and call or e-mail me. I will let you know how I would proceed and my fees for same.

You will likely wish to bring a criminal complaint against him as well, but they don't collect the money.
