Who called from 6478946077

You really need to learn more about the banking system and how it works.  A check "clears" when is has been accepted by the issuing bank for payment via the Automated Clearing House or ACH.  However, the funds have not yet been transferred from the issuing bank to yours.  Your bank is essentially giving you an interest free loan from the time the check "clears" until the time the actual funds transfer, called payment, has occurred. That can take two to three weeks or even longer after a check clears.  It is only during the procedure for processing the actual payment that the issuing bank determines the check is fraudulent and returns it your bank at which time the deposit is reversed and you get hit with a returned check fee.  These scammers do not want you to wait for actual payment to occur and demand you send the money as soon as the check clears knowing full well the check will bounce when actually processed for payment but by then they have your money and cannot be traced.

>> so I wasnt responsible  <<

Um.... incorrect.

In addition to Mike-In-MD's correct answer, read this ... carefully!

Extract:
"In these cases, the depositor most likely will be held responsible for the entire amount of the fraudulent check."

Instead of cashing the check, or sending it back, take it and the envelope in which it came to the post office.  They will use it as evidence and pursue the scammer.
