Basically a man came to me for help asking me to help him pay his electricity and bills, he had told me he lost his I.D. and needed to cash a check. So I proceeded to cash his check thinking I’m going to help someone in need. Little do I know that his check I cashed was fake and he took 1,200 dollars out of the 1,500 dollars check? It was odd to me that he told me to keep 300 dollars butt at the time I was thinking I have bills to pay too, and accepted it. Well I’m only 18 years old I thought I was being nice to someone in needing have help. Now I owe the bank money until they find the guy. I filed a police report on Friday 22; they said to bring them detailed information to find the guys so now I’m looking up specific times of the place we met hoping to get his face on camera so the police can identify the guy. I talk to the bank today Saturday 23, and they basically told me it’s my responsibility to pay back the money I’m 18 years old I’m way too young to be in debt like this. I owe 856 dollars to the bank and have no way I can pay that money both my parents are poor and I’m going to RN college and part time work. Overall I thought I was doing a nice thing for this man. I'm going to put all efforts to continue on to look for this guy and any kind of help would be great.
