I signed a contract with this company thay they would send me checks, and I keep 10% of the money, but the quicker I get them cashed, the quicker I will recieve more checks. Carol Gilroy was prompt in sending me emails, but after I recv. my first check for over 2800.00, I deposited in my bank account, and now that the check is from a closed account which I found out by copying all of the bank information, and calling the bank. This Carol woman hasnt responded to any of my emails. I want to get my money back, I am sure this is a con job, I am not sure if anyone knows how to get to the bottom of it, and how to hold them accountable, they just cant give out fraudulent checks, or have people send fraudulent checks to other people to cash, and now my account is going to spiral out of control.

Yes, it sure sounds as if you have gotten dragged into another internet scam. You need to contact your local police, although when things are not in the same country, it makes it hard for them.
There are warnings EVERYWHERE about online fraud. Contracts with theives don't mean much. And there probably is no real Carol Gilroy.

Sounds like a scam to me
What wort of personal information did you send to this person? What did they promise in return? What were you supposed to do in exchange for all this money?
If I were you, I would close your account pronto and open a new account with a different bank. Then, I would pull my credit reports and check to see how much damage has been done.
