Actual (valid) checks for thousands of dollars do not magically appear in mailboxes. Put on your critical thinking cap. If you ran a business, would you send a real check for thousands of dollars to someone you didn't know? Of course not. No business does that.
The bottom line is that you deposited a bogus check in your account. You didn't mention it, but I suspect that you probably sent a Moneygram or Western Union transfer to someone you don't know (also not a wise thing to do). This is a very common scam and although you probably won't be charged with fraud (since you were only guilty of falling for this lame scam), you will be responsible for paying the bank back. That's just what happens when you deposit a phony check and withdraw the cash.
In the future, you need to be more skeptical. Do not deposit checks or money orders from questionable sources. As you have seen, this can lead to trouble.
