Anyone here have experience with check fraud in Oakland county in recent times? Before I file a lawsuit against someone I figured I'd see if anyone else has been through this and what their outcome was.
I have a loser broker (yes licensed in Michigan) that was supposed to refund my money from a transaction. He was dragging his feet until I threatened him with legal action, the he wrote a check from his company that bounced for several thousand dollars. After that he wouldn't return calls so I filed a police report for fraud. This was back in May, filed with the Rochester police dept. The prosecuter's office said nothing has been submitted to them (as of today), which according to them means the investigation is still ongoing or not being pursued. Their advice is to contact the detective, which I've tried to do since July with no luck. He doesn't answer the phone or return calls, unreal. I have no problem filing a civil suit, but I'd hate for that to get in the way of this tool being prosecuted criminally as he should according to Michigan law. I care less about the money than I do about this asshat getting the book thrown at him.
Just wondering if anyone on here has dealt with check fraud and what you experienced. Maybe it's normal for the local precinct to sit on it for almost a year without pushing it to the prosecuter's office, who knows. Seems pretty open and shut to me. It wasn't like the guy made a mistake and made things right, it was definitely fraud on his end.
I guess now we know we can just stop paying for things and write bad checks for everything, cause they aren't doing shit about it from what I see! What an idiot I was for actually working and paying for things prior to this knowledge.
