thank you for your answers the guy that i lend the money to was my friend and i know where he is, the deal we made was for to give in money to start his business and after two month i would go to the bank and withdraw the money from his bank account, but he doesnt have any money in his account now. so is it illegal for him to give me a check but without having the money in the bank. do u have a strong case? will the police or any department arrest him for that?

If you have no way of tracking him, there is nothing you can do, but do report it to the police and FBI. Other people may tell you to read here, try this-try that; but the fact is if you dont have any way to track the guy your are screwed. Hopefully you learned a lesson.

Are you sure you're not leaving something out of this story? Why on earth would you give someone $20,000 and take $20,000 in checks?
If that's what really happened, yes you have a case against him. He committed check fraud. Report to the police immediately.

Im sorry you are dealing with this situation. A person with your type of money should be able to afford the services of an attorney to help you draw up contracts that will protect you. Unless you have another 20,000 laying around I'd suggest you check out the source below and become a member. I hope this helps.

File a police report. Never go into business with your friends, family or relatives. Never.

File fraud charges against him in your state and his. Make a police report.

Why would you do this? But, yes, you will have to sue them. However, it may not be wise, because they may have no assets or any way for you to collect even if you win a judgement. And you would probably have to pay even more money for an attorney to do this.

Good luck, it is a scam. If you can locate him you can file charges but you will probably never get it back.

I should not have posted an answer because I suck at this type of thing. But please state were you live because laws change depending on your location.
