For Counterfeit Check Victims

Victims of counterfeit check scams have occasionally been charged with check fraud, so it's crucial that you report your loss as soon as you realize you've been taken. If you've wired the money already then you're liable to the bank for those losses. While the authorities probably can't help you recover your losses, your report will help limit your chances of facing criminal charges, and it might help save someone else from being victimized.
