I want what was taken from me back because now I have No Id, No money to get my Id, and an over draft that is over $2600 just for being a nice person. I am willing to show the text messages and email to get justice.

I think it is awful anyone would say this is the victim's fault. This lady texted/emailed me too and it was all very believable and she gets you with a heartbreaking story. Whoever thinks that the victim is the one responsible for fraud is wrong. I am so sorry this happened to you and anyone else. Beware to all other users she has changed her name number of times : Karen Brax, Sally, and others. Karenbrax20@gmail.com was the email. She claimed to be from a couple cities but none of her phone numbers were the right area code. Always check that kind of thing!

So why would a huge multinational corporation that manufactures printers and copiers send you $2600 to buy a baby carriage? It is obvious that you got greedy and then got bit by your greed. You knew the following facts:

  • You did not have a spare $2600 sitting in your account to cash this stranger's check, did you?
  • You did not know the person that sent you the check
  • You did not know the person that you wired the funds to either, did you?
  • Why would a stranger ask you to buy a baby carriage? What special baby carriage knowledge do you have that could not be obtained elsewhere by the person that actually needed the baby carriage?

You can see this is very clearly fraud - an attempt to rip off the bank for the amount of the check.

As to the statement you made:  ...."no money to get my ID", that makes no sense at all. Did you provide false ID and now you need another one?  You need to examine your motives for cashing this fraudulent check and fix your account. Next time a stranger offers you money in the 'too good to be true' catagory, turn it down.
