My partner may be the victim of fraud. He received a cheque for goods supplied and paid it into his bank account on the 15th June 2006. So far, no problem, funds have cleared and most have been used for other purposes but he has reason to believe that the customer who supplied the cheque is suspect. He has been unable to contact them and can find no trace of them. How long would he remain liable if the cheque was stolen or forged? He has no savings and is worried that the bank would demand all the money, that he has spent believing the funds were cleared and legitimate, immediately. He has reported his suspicions to the police but they say they are unable to give guidance on these matters. Is there anything that can be done to help him if he has been victimised? Many thanks to all for giving my questions consideration whether or not you are able to help.
