I was paid for auction item with stolen check, bank 1st cleared check & I shipped item & then I used the profit to write checks($450 profit-I sold my used computer on ebay) When the bank heard the check was stolen I showed them the auction, gave them the envelop, they canceled my checks & I had to pay nsf fees & an overdraft which I did. They opened a new bank account for me too.
They however apparently had filed a grand theft charge first before approving me as the victim of the crime. Apparently they forgot to drop it so 2 days ago I was with my 6 year daughter waiting for someone to drop off my lost wallet because my wallet had been.
The police were very nice.I closed the door when they found this old
charge, came up to the door making some excuse about wanting to see the wallet and make sure they didnt forget something-with my front door open and my 6 year old behind me. My hand extended he grabbed
me never read rights or warrant & arrested me. wife spent rent on bail help!

You do realize you were taken in by a very old scam. If anyone offers to pay you more than the value the item you're selling and then wants you to send them money in addition to the item, it's a scam. Unfortunately you fell victim to it. The bank can hold you legally responsible for the money when the check shows up as fraudulent. Did the bank indicate they would not press charges? Doesn't sound liek they did if you were arrested. But if you were not given due process then the case should be dismissed. In any case, you need an attorney on this. Sounds pretty serious.

I think someones made a big mistake. It sounds like the Police somehow got your name confused with the other party. You are probably gonna need a Lawyer, yes more money to get out of this mess. Unless you can make an appointment and go see the District Attorney and explain things to him/her. Take all the proof you have from the Bank.
