Sunbridge SurveyPro Sent me a check for $4,995.00 to be deposited into my bank account, check was a fraud Albuquerque New Mexico
I recieved a check in the mail from Sunbridge SurveyPro in the amount of $4,995.00 to be a mystery shopper. $4,440.00 was to be sent to Mary using my last name through Money Gram. $105.00 was to use shopping at Home Depo and $300 was for me to keep for training. Tjhe remaining $150.00 was the charge for sending 4440.00 through Money Gram.I deposited the check at my bank, they said it would take 5 days to clear, after the 3rd day it cleared and I went to the bank to draw it out. After I got the money from my bank, I went online to check my account balance and it was negative!!! The bank made a mistake by clearing the check and now I owe the money back to my bank. I am scared that I may be in trouble legally now....am I?

Yes, you ARE in trouble. Your bank can have you arrested and charged with bank fraud. Read some of the MANY reports on this site about people who were foolish enough to cash those bogus checks and are now facing prison time. And it's NOT the bank's mistake - it's YOUR mistake. There are many people serving jail time now for doing what you did. Since when did an employer pay you BEFORE you started work ?????? DUH !!! You had better get that money back to the bank PRONTO and try to tallk your way out of the trouble you're in. Banks are taking this VERY seriously.
