WoodForest National Bank Jenny Johnson Mailed me two checks by prority mail 2day in amount of $955.00. Santa Rosa Texas
I recieved two money orers mailed out to me through prority 2 day envelope. I opened the envelope and there were two money orders. I did not know where they came from or whom sent them. I went to cash them both and found out that the checks wete not real. I was told i can get in trouble. Why would i get trouble for something I new nothing about, that was sent to me and it was real money orders. The cashing institute did not show me how to avoid a situation like this for future reference nor did they show me why the money orders were not shame on them and the Bank affiliated with it. Plus I did nothing illegal by law . I did not know. So for those out there be careful of the scheme or bank ripoff.

You are responsible for any item deosited into your account. Therefore, if you deposit a fake check or money order you are responsible for the item. If credit has been given for the item(s), the bank will deduct the total amount of the deposit. If you have withdrawn/spent any money, you could be assessed OD/NSF fees. You could also face crimial charges.
You stated that you didn't know anything about these until you received them in the mail. Did that not seem suspicious to you? Were you given instructons? Like deposit into your account. Forward a certain amount by Western Union and use some of remainder to do "Secret Shopper" evauation at a store. Keep the rest as your pay. Instructions such as these are a sign of a scam. When it's found that the checks/money order are fake, you're out the amount that you wired and you're responsible for returning the total amount to the bank.
This is indeed a scam, BUT the bank had nothing to do with it. The criminal is the one you were upposed to send the money to.
