I was scammed in June 2006 and my bank account is now short almost $90000. I haven’t been charged with anything but the bank wants the back. To make a long story short I gave my account information to this person and they deposited cheques into my account. I live in Canada and the cheques came for a US bank. A few days after the cheques were the deposited the funds were available and I was instructed to send the money through Western Union. 25 days later my bank my account was short and I receive copies of the cheques in the mail with a stop payment stamp on them. When I ask the bank what’s going on they said the cheques didn’t clear. I asked then why were the funds released. I asked who deposited the cheques into my account because they told me someone actually went to a teller and deposited the cheques in person. I have all the Western Union receipts and reported what happened to the police. Does anyone have any advice on what I should or could do next?

I'm sorry you've been scammed. If you're feeling stupid, don't, please. These scammers have taken months, maybe years to perfect their craft of spinning lies. They've taken the trust that you put in them and abused it. I know it will be hard to trust people at first, but it takes time to heal.
