The 7500-00 was a cheque

I took it to my bank and alerted the, (putting decision on them), it passsed all their checks... The suggested I take to to the issuing bank, I did, they to agreed it did not look fraudulent, they rang the issuer but didnt conduct any security checks on him doh! they eventually telephone teir fraud team who suggested on face value it would be difficult to tell if it was fraud and the requested that i get my bank send the chque via "inter bank suspect cheque fraud". I overheard a convo that suggested there was not enough funds in the account for the payment to clear anyway.

I took the chque bank to my bank, they refused it (they didnt know what inter bank etc was) and told me to go to the Police.

I went to the Police, they said no crime they were aware of had been comitted, however, please turn up Saturday and speak to interpol!

In th meantime do I insult a potential client and say the cheques possibly fraudulent?
