Check Fraud

[mikee1241]

What is the name of your state? California

I was selling something on e-bay and had a buyer. He asked me to deposit some money as deposit. After a few days someone withdrew $6,500 from my accout. The check was a fraud, no signature, wrong bank address and more. I reported the fraud and we had all the check details, but the bank refused to investigate and go after the fraud. Can I do anything about it?

Why did you deposit money for the buyer in the first place? How much was the item sold? How much was the fraudulent check for? Did you not notice the check wasn't signed before you gave the buyer the item?
