Recently I was tricked into a check scam. I applied to a job online. A person supposedly representing the company hired me and sent me a check($1950.00) claiming that I am to buy software that I would be using for the job. I deposited the check into my account and once the funds were available, withdrew the cash and deposited it into the software retailer's Wells Fargo account; those were the instructions. Once I realized it was a scam I went back to Wells Fargo and had the account froze; the funds were still there. A Wells Fargo employee told me the only way I can get the money back is through the police. I filed a police report, and the police told me they couldn't get the money back from the account either. It seems my only option is to take Wells Fargo to court.
I have all the evidence(bank slips, emails, etc) to prove my story. Do I have a legit case? Is there another way?
