What is the name of your state? FLorida.
I've been victim of the so called "Nigeria Scam". Basically, I have a car for sale. I was offered the car price plus some amount I had to send to Nigeria.
I did receive a cashier's check and I made the deposit. Next day the funds were available so I sent the balance overseas. Days later, the cashier's check bounced back and I had to take the lost on the $4000.00 I had already sent away.
My point is I made a decision based on the fact the bank made the money available whithout really clearing the check. I look at it as a representation issue. Can the bank just backup on that?. Is there anything I can do to claim the bank at all?.
Thanks for your attention.
