Really, I need to hear from some liberal lawyers if I have a case. The NSA got Yahoo to roll over and also monitor overseas calls.
I was scammed and now the bank is making my life a living hell.
Okay, I was vulnerable and thus very stupid, but isn't the governments action supposed to protect us and keep money out of possible terriorists hands.
In a nut shell, I received a cashiers check,($15000.00) for some Food products I advertised on a web site.
Communication between me and the overseas buyer was 100% over Yahoo until the check arrived.
I deposited in my bank and waited days before accessing any of the funds as the deposit slip states funds are not available immediately.
5 days later I got a cashiers check from my bank, to pay supplier, and then $7000.00 cash which I was to wire by Western Union to shipper and agent.
I was freaked out but figured the bank sure as hell would not dole out these funds unless the fucking check had cleared. Well guess what? The bank wants $11,700 and change as the check came back counterfit.
Thye DA says the bank can not do this.
I still can't figure out why it's not demanding the whole $15000. I looks like they are taking responcibility for the cashiers check but not the cash
