What Is Check Fraud?

Many people do not reach out to an attorney after they have been victimized by check fraud because they do not realize that they have grounds for a case. 

Check fraud can also take many different forms. A scammer might have sent you a check that is false, counterfeit, drawn on closed accounts, or forged. Any money that you spend as a result of a fraudulent check could wind up being your responsibility. This could be devastating for you and your family financially.

Other common types of check fraud in Florida include:

• Mystery shopper schemes
• Lottery schemes
• Inheritance schemes
• Overpayment scams
• Unsolicited check schemes 

If you have been a victim of check fraud, you may be scared and worried about whether you could face criminal charges. At this point, it is critical that you get a legal representative on your side. Call Sharmin & Sharmin P.A. to retain a reputable check fraud lawyer to advocate for your interests in court.

What to Expect From Life After Check Fraud

The aftermath and consequences that you will have to face after check fraud can be devastating, to say the least. Depending on the details of your case, you could be facing some pretty severe penalties. We may be able to help you unless you were an active and willing participant in a check fraud scheme.

As previously mentioned, any money spent that was from a fraudulent check you will likely be responsible for. This could make it difficult or impossible for your family to continue to support yourselves and cover your daily living expenses.

Not to mention the fact that check fraud also means that you are at a greater risk of having your identity stolen. Once scammers get a hold of your Social Security number, your credit reports and scores are at risk for being used fraudulently as well. 

Once you discover that you are a victim of check fraud, there are certain steps you can take to protect yourself. They include:

• Calling your bank and credit card companies as soon as possible to report the fraudulent activity
• Going through your credit and banking accounts to uncover inconsistencies and fraudulent activity
• Changing the passwords on your financial accounts and other passwords that may use the same login information
• Putting credit bureaus on notice that you are a victim of check fraud
• Filing police reports for criminal check fraud
• Continuing to monitor your banking and financial accounts for fraudulent activities
• Continuing to monitor your credit reports for errors and inconsistencies related to check fraud
