Always read the fine print. Finance companies are known to send out checks that are really loans. Cashing the check is an implied response that you accept the loan and their terms. If this is the case, yes you have to pay it back. Find the paperwork that came with it and read - you might also see if you can get a copy of the check (Front and back) - it's usually with the endorsement.
If you cashed someone elses check and sent them the money for it - sounds like you were scammed! Sorry, try to have it traced - chances are you'll run into a dead end and you will have to repay this.

You just got scammed!
You will have to pay the bank back for cashing a phony check.
Was the check for fees or taxes from a "lottery"?
If you never played and don't have a ticket, you didn't win. Taxes can be taken from the winnings or are your responsibility at the end of the year. A "lottery" that sends you money to cash and send back is committing fraud and should've raised a big red flag!!
Besides, international lotteries are illegal in the United States.

Sounds like a common money-laundering scam. You WILL have to pay this back. Why would you cash a check from someone you never met and then send the cash on via Western Union?

you must have gotten one of those checks that you didn't read the fine print. Ask the bank for the name of the company and address and phone # if they can retrieve it. You will probably have to go to small claims court.
