Re: fraud

Don't believe everything the police tell you. But you should speak to an attorney and explain all the details just to be sure you have no exposure to criminal charges.

Since you are being viewed as a suspect I would advise you not to speak to anyone from the police department or State's Attorney's office without your lawyer present. Remember that you have the right to remain silent.
