They are the ones who did wrong, NOT YOU... just because they are familar with HER they have a legal responsiblity to make sure the check is valid, she could have found your checkbook and written the check herself.. infact anyone could do that.. if they cashed the check its ON them!! All you are required to do is go to your bank ask them for the STOP payment information and fax it to the check cashing place ( proof you stopped payment) your responsibility ends there!! Thats why we use banks they protect us!! YOU should be the one suing them for cashing a fraudulent check, not the other way around.. check cashing places are shady anyways!! I would contact the attorney general or better business in that area and speak to them before you end up paying any rediculas fees!!
My uncle said , contact them ask for a FAX number, give that fax number to your bank , ask them to fax them directly your request to STOP PAYMENT , from there its on them.. just because they " know" someone doesnt give them any right to cash a check!! Please do NOT send them any money not even the 170.00.. Adrianna is responsible to pay that NOT you.. they have to find her NOT YOU , they have to take her to court NOT YOU! You did your part by stopping payment on the check!!

Great informative post!
