Nigerian scam

[Piano1030]

Once again you are wrong.. None of that money touched my hands.. since I did not approve of it in the first place.
Boy, your good at talking out of term.
It's lawyers like you that give them all a bad rap.

Ok done with you now.

She spent 8000. of it 2500 being sent to the man in Nigeria and three days later the check bounced. Now the bank says she has 60 days to pay back at least 5500 of it. and finance the rest.
What are her rights and where should she go from here?

Either to the bank to pay the money back and sign a contract for repayment or to jail for fraud.

Now I'm done with YOU!

What is the name of your state? Florida

My mother was scammed by a man on the internet. This is what happened.
They met on an internet dating site, they talked for a few months and then he sent her a check of 16000. she deposited against my better judgement.
The bank told her they would hold it for a month to see if it would go through. a few days ago it was a month and the bank told her the check was avaible to her as a courtesy. She spent 8000. of it 2500 being sent to the man in Nigeria and three days later the check bounced. Now the bank says she has 60 days to pay back at least 5500 of it. and finance the rest.
What are her rights and where should she go from here?

Thank you,
Sincerely

Alright Nicole...

Tell MOM to give the Bank $5500.00 and finance the rest! You will all then get a good night's sleep! The bank will get their money back by whatever means necessary. This option will reveal itself to be the better of all choices in the end!

Wow a decent reply. Thanks Shellandty. All I was asking for was to know the options for her.
Can't everybody just be civil and get along?
I have restored some faith in the bar association.

Thanks again.

Out of respect for the bar association..I am not a lawyer. Never-the-less...thanks for the comment!

Yeah I bet things do get nasty in court with you as the attorney. Also something to be proud of.

I'm done with this useless ego-mania.

Best of luck to you in your future posts.
Take Care.

Piano, please don't assume that any particular person here is a lawyer.

This scam is incredibly popular. Do a google search.

Or, start here: http://www.scamvictimsunited.com/

They have a whole section devoted to this particular
Nigerian scam. One of the things they advise is closing out any and all accounts with the bank, if she hasn't already done that, because the bank will take all the money she has deposited with them.

Usually, if a stranger wants to hand over a huge check like that, there is something fishy about it.

I was "notified" that I had won millions in a UK lottery
(I don't even play it!), but was told I had to send several thousand dollars to a bankacct in order to receive the millions....yeah suuuuure that's what I'd would have gotten!

If it seems to good to be true, it always is.
