ScamVictimsUnited.com :: View topic - HELP! I JUST FOUND OUT I WAS A VICTIM THE CHECK LOOKED REAL

I just discovered that I was a victim. My bank called me about a check that I had deposited into my account. They hold it for two days to make sure it clears. I deposited the check on 3/20 and the called me tonight to tell me that the check was flagged for fraud meaning it was not real. It looked like a normal check you would get from a company, I answered an ad on craigslist for a personal assistant and even talked to the person but they said they were out of town. this is the email they sent me: my account is now negative 3,000 dollars I did not spend any of the money or withdrawl anything from the account. I have no idea what to do, I am going to my bank in the morning but I am scared to death I will be in trouble, thats alot of money and I dont know what I am going to do. Who should I contact? I am only 26 it seemed like the real deal and like I said I talked to him several times. I have kept all the emails that he sent me and I responded to, as well as the phone calls. what is my next step aside from trying to figure all this out with my bank?

Here is a list of places to report the scam http://scamvictimsunited.com/Reporting_scams.htm This is what I am trying to understand . . . you said Quote: my account is now negative 3,000 dollars I did not spend any of the money or withdrawl anything from the account. If you did not spend ANY of the money or withdraw it, then once they removed the amount of the check from your account it should just go back to what it was before you deposited the check . . . if the check was for $3,000 and you did not take any money out, then they just take the $3,000 back out and you are back where you started . . . what did I miss here?
