What is the name of your state? CA
I deposited a check that is bad. Before withdrawing and using the funds, I asked my bank both in person in a branch and over the phone if the check cleared. Both times, the teller and customer service representative said "yes, the check cleared, the funds are made available". That was not the case, the check was on hold and did not clear. Now I am out of the money since I received the check from someone I didn't know and it was a scam.
Is the bank responsible at all for not giving me the proper information?
