Q: What should I do? My account is frozen cause I was given fraud checks and bank took my money when they decline the check
So I was given two checks for a side job I deposit it to my account and they decline next day I was called that the check’s were fraud but they bank never gave me the money. I gave them the emails and address of where I gotten them and they froze my account. When I login into my account I had 123.50 in the checking account I checked the next day it was 232 which was weird then I saw it was taken . I don’t know how if it’s frozen
A: If you never got the money and the checks were declined, the bank must suspect you for fraud. There is something not right but if the whole matter is over $110 there is little a lawyer can do. When the courts reopen, make a small claims suit.
