What is the name of your state? Florida
My mother was scammed by a man on the internet. This is what happened.
They met on an internet dating site, they talked for a few months and then he sent her a check of 16000. she deposited against my better judgement.
The bank told her they would hold it for a month to see if it would go through. a few days ago it was a month and the bank told her the check was avaible to her as a courtesy. She spent 8000. of it 2500 being sent to the man in Nigeria and three days later the check bounced. Now the bank says she has 60 days to pay back at least 5500 of it. and finance the rest.
What are her rights and where should she go from here?
Thank you,
Sincerely
Nicole
