After applying for a job online, I received a cashier 's check on XXXX XXXX, 2015, for the amount of {$1900.00} with an offer via text for a job position as a XXXX. The stated reason this check was sent to me was to cover errands and complete some tasks as his personal assistant. Before cashing the check, me and my husband were suspicious, so we went to Navy Federal Credit Union to verify the check was real. I was helped by one of their representatives whom I asked " when the check would be clear '' the representative responded " Within a day. You should have it by tomorrow. '' They assured me the check would be cleared by the next day, meaning within XXXX hours. 

Based on these assurances from Navy Federal, I followed further instructions from my supposed new employer to send XXXX wire transfers for {$800.00} and {$900.00} to XXXX, TX. A week later, Navy Federal removed the {$1900.00} and said that it actually takes up to 30 days for a check to clear. The check in fact did not clear after the funds had already been made available, and now my account is delinquent {$900.00}. Thankfully {$800.00} was held by XXXX XXXX and was able to be recovered. The manager repeatedly apologized saying they need to increase training of their staff to avoid this sort of " miscommunication. '' I hold Navy Federal as an accomplice to crediting a fake check under their stated position while still pursuing me for an illegitimate debt where the funds were and then were not available under my name. I have filed police reports and saved all documentation of the fraud committed upon me. Regardless, none of this would have happened had Navy Federal not misinformed me as to the status of the initial cashier 's check.
