I have recently been talking to this man on the internet and he claimed to need help by having me submit a cheque into my bank account and send money to his "niece" (also getting to keep a chunk of the money).
I did this, and turns out the cheque was fake. And the email he told me to send the money to was a blacklisted one.
I sent the investigators all of the conversations I have had with this man. I am currently waiting on the investigation to conclude so I could hopefully get my banking account back. The man I spoke on the phone about this with told me that since it is my account that I am liable for this.
What are the possible outcomes for this? Could I be charged with fraud? Could I be fined? What can I do to help this situation?
Thank you
