I cashed a $2500 check at Bank of America, which was the bank on the check, and sent $1400 of it to the scammer, who I thought was the "shippers" that would pick up the car I supposedly sold to the scammer. I spent the remaining $1100 on a new car, and now, a few weeks later, I'm realizing that it was a scam. My mom said that if I had deposited the check into an account, then I would be liable for the $2500, and would have to repay the bank. But she said that since I DON'T have an account, and since the bank accepted the check and cashed it for me without an account, then THEY are liable and I'm not. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
