Report her to the police for fraud. Take her to small claims court for the money. Go to the police department that has jurisdiction over where the check was cashed (i.e., if the check was cashed at an Orlando bank, contact Orlando PD). Ask to fill out a statement in which you admit to cashing the check but deny all knowledge that it was stolen and forged. The reason you want to do this is that if the Dad already made a report, it's going to be very hard for you to prove you didn't know what you were doing and you could be charged for uttering a forged check. By proactively making a statement to the police, you're saying you're not guilty and you had nothing to do with the incident. This is important because in many states uttering a forged check is a felony. Believe me, this is what I do all day. Make a statement and hope your friend tells the truth.
A misprision of a felony is the concealment of a felony from the authorities, but without actually giving any degree of active support to its commission (i.e.: the person is not considered an accomplice to the crime). For example: Person 'A' robs a bank and kills a teller. He goes to Person'B's home and asks to hide out and tells Person 'B' that they just robbed bank. Person 'B' does nothing, but continues to hide the bank robber anyway. Person'B' has committed a Misprision of a Felony.
Yes because they don't like imatations. PIE!!!
Identification is required by banks to open an account, so if money is deposited into an account, the bank knows whose account it is (unless the documents used to open the account were also forged, which is harder than forging a cheque). In most cases yes, the bank can identify the person who deposits a forged cheque.
Ultraviolet lights, magnetic ink detectors, watermark detectors, and microprint magnifiers are commonly used to detect forged banknotes. These tools are designed to spot fake security features and discrepancies in the banknote that are not present in genuine currency.
If you know it has been forged, then you need to return it to the bank it is written on. This will help them prevent further forgeries. If you cash it, don't spend the money. When it goes back to the originator's bank, it may be recognized as such and the amount of the cashed check will be taken from your checking account. You may be prosecuted if you forged the check.
If some one bought a vehicle from you with a forged check, or forged an insurance claim check,you need to make a police report AND a file a notarized forgery certificate with your bank.
no they can't
At minimum you will be assessed a fee (Nonsufficient Funds Fee or NSF), and be required to pay the balance of the check. The more serious outcome is that you would be charged with any of a variety of felony or misdemeanor charges: Larceny by conversion, consumer fraud, uttering and publishing, etc.
Writing bad checks is a form of fraud and you can be arrested for it. However if you did not do it intentionally then the bank will just charge a fee. It is true that issuing insufficient funds checks is a form of fraud; in the state of Michigan it is referred to as Uttering and Publishing, and is a felony. While intent is a major factor, it will not protect you from prosecution. The number of checks issued will be considered along with intent. Intent may factor into the prosecutor's decision to pursue misdemeanor or felony charges however.
They could in most states, but it is highly unlikely that a bank would hire them. Actually JP Morgan Chase (formally WAMU), will hire you even if you have a felony record, so if you have a felony apply there.
Felony manslaughter is where a homicide occurs during the commission of some other felony, like bank robbery or kidnapping, even though the person charged with the homicide either did not do it or did not intend to do it.
