What is the name of your state? Illinois
I recieved a large check from an overseas invester to help with a construction project. The check was deposited into my Business account and was cleared 18 days later. I used the money to buy new equipment and to pay off my house and my truck.
The bank now tells me that the check is a forgery and that I have to pay the money back or they will file criminal charges against me, They have also threatened to take my home and vehicle because they say that I used the money to pay them off. I do not have the money to pay back the bank.
I have all the email and phone conversation with the investor but since I told him of my situation I have not heard from him nor been able to locate him.
1. can they charge me criminaly ?
2. can they take my home and car ?
3. Do I have any recourse ?
