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".
