counterfeit. I put these checks into my bank account and come to find out a few days later that these checks were counterfeit. These people have contacted me several times since then stating that they would wire the money into my bank account and to date, have not done so. I have emailed them numerous times. Who do I contact to get my money back and make my bank account in the plus again? I really need some help from someone because I am not working as I am going to school and have a son in college who I have been trying to help. Signed, Desperate

This sounds like one of the 100's of money order scams.
Please tell us you were not "accepting" checks for some company. You were suppose to deposit them into your checking account, then go get a money order and send them most of it, and keep a percentage?
This is called a fraud or scam. They always ( or atleast after the first two or three small checks) send you a fake one.
Then if you have any money in your account left, and you give them your checking account info, they remove the rest of the money if possible,
These companies are normally overseas and you will never get this money back, and even worst, if you don't pay the bank back, they will press criminal charges agaisnt you for the bank fraud.
So please tell us this was not what was happening. This fraud has been going on now for years, everyone on the net should know about it by now.
and even then, honestly, why would they need you to cash thier checks for them, banks all over the world are international, they can cash any money order from any nation, anywhere in the world. I can write a personal check, and mail it to my friend in south arfica, and guess what my bank has a branch there. if not, they deposit it and only have to pay the fee to change it from US dollars to thier money unit.
1. If this is a fraud which it sounds like, there is no one to pay you back, you will have to pay the bank back yourself by getting another job or something.

As these cheques are/were counterfeit you must contact the police.
To pass counterfeit cheques of any kind is a criminal offence.
I am surprised that your bank have not already contacted the police.

You got screwed by somebody overseas, probably somewhere in Africa. That's was the root of the last case of false am ex checks that I worked on.
