Expedia Canada Corp.,Bank Of America, N.A, Bank Of America Customer Connection This Company sent me a Fraudulent Check Toronto Ontario
This Company sent to me a Check for $25,000 that was supposed to help me pay fees to a Bank located in Nigeria that supposedly had an inheritance fund that named me as beneficiary of a large sum of money. I assume now that it was nothing but scammers but this Company i name here sent me what i thought was a legitimate Check signed and payable from a Bank in Atlanta, Ga. USA...
When my Bank sent this check to Atlanta, it came back and i was told BY MY BANK.. that the check was not good and Fraudulent...MY BANK CLOSED MY ACCOUNT FOR THIS...for they assumed i was involved in fraudulent activity...which i was not...I only fell victim to a scam from Scammers in Nigeria but this caused unrest with the Bank i used for my account...This was not right, and i feel victimized here...
I have reported the Nigerian scammers to FBI officials but the damage has been done with my reputation with My bank...I think some kind of Compensation should be made to me or to My Bank to compensate for the aggravation and trouble i experienced through this ordeal...

to do the compensation? The only people that made any money off this would be the scammers, if you sent them any money. You didn't mention that, but that's how it usually works. You deposit the check into your account and then Western Union some or all to someone. When the check is returned as fraud the only one who lost money is you. The bank is withing their rights to close the account as a fraudulant check was presented. Unfortunately you are responsible for everything that is deposited in your account. Did the bank close your account and refuse to open a new account ot did they let you open a new account? I'm sorry to hear that this scam happened to you but as the saying goes "if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is".
