I had belongings at the residence still. Before I got the rest of my stuff I didn't realize she had went through it and stole a book of checks and my Ipod. I went to the bank and realized my balance didn't seem right. I found out she wrote a check to herself for $150.00 and signed my name. I closed out the account and told I would give her a chance to return my money and belongings or I would press charges. She said she had a witness that seen me give her the check and tell her to fill it out and sign my name. She said I would go to jail for lying. I have total proof the signature does not even come close to matching mine. She said she would try to get me in trouble by making up lies about me. What kind of trouble can she get in to and will I get in trouble because she is lying and has somebody to lie for her????

She's just trying to scare and intimidate you. It's her word against yours...except you've got physical proof that she did in fact commit forgery. That's a BIG offence.
You should contact a lawyer immediately and start working on suing her if you want your money back.
You can't go to jail for lying...we'd all be in jail.
I'll tell you for sure, if you guys end up in court and she uses that excuse the judge will ask her: "why did so-so give you $150, what did you buy with all that money, why did you take the Ipod?" You can say, I never gave her nor allowed her any access to my money.
The worst that can happen is that you guys go to court and there's just too much back and forth that the judge will dismiss the case. If you plan it out properly with a lawyer you could get your money back and she could probably pay for your lawyer fees too.
Good Luck.
Don't get intimidated!

I'm not an attorney, but this is what I would do...
1. File a police report and report the IPOD stolen. If asked, don't say anything about your suspicions of who stole the IPOD... Give her until after Christmas to see if she is downloading songs off of Itunes. I believe you can track the IPOD usage on Itunes through the IPOD registration number. After Christmas, contact Itunes and see if the IPOD has been downloading songs. If it has, then report that you think she stole the IPOD.
2. I'd report her to the police for the check. Just cuz' she says she has a person that will say you gave her the check, blah, blah, blah, doesn't mean the person will testify in court OR that she really has such a person.
If you believe you are in the right and you want to bother with the whole mess, then report her.
GOOD LUCK.

You will NOT get into ANY trouble for reporting a suspected fraud. Trust me. Call the bank nd explain the situation. They have a FRAUD department specifically for this. Your ex-friend can spend over a year in jail for a felony, esp. because the check was for over $100.00.
Additionally, that person is now attempting to blackmail you. I would file a police report, as well as an injunction against harrassment, or a protective order, and file a claim with your bank's fraud department.

You need to first notify the bank that this happened, and tell them to recredit your account. Then they go after her. You can also notify the police. That is larceny by deceit. Don't worry about her bs that you gave her the check. You are the wronged party. Blow the whistle and let her get in trouble

It doesn't matter what witness she claims to have, go to the police tell them what she did and her threat. If it is not your signature it is not your signature, that is forgery and is jail time.
If police don't help you get in touch with the District attorney, Commonwealth attorney or Solicitor which ever one you have.

Under oath, they both will get in trouble for perjury. The girl that forged your name can get in serious trouble for that. Sue her but it will be in a small claims court.
