What if I deposited or cashed the check or money order but haven’t sent the cash yet?
Immediately notify your bank or credit union, or a check cashing service if you used one. You will need to return the money or have your account corrected. Explain that you’ve been scammed and ask not to have any negative action taken against you such as closing your account or reporting you to a checking account abuse database. If that has already happened, ask if that action can be reversed. File a report with your local police to put on record that you’re a scam victim. Report the scam to the National Consumers League, which will pass the information along to law enforcement agencies.
