Default Threats to Press Federal Forgery Charges
I worked from home as a contractor for a telemarketing company for one week. He issued me a check for my work as agreed and then abruptly stopped payment on it. After contacting him several times for my check, he finally sent me two checks together totaling the amount he owed me. I cashed both checks and now (three weeks later); he is leaving me threatening voicemails accusing me of forging his signature on one of the checks. He claims he did not sign it and has asked me to call him before he "puts me away" for 7 years.
The company is in North Carolina, I live in Texas. I did not forge his signature. Can he actually press charges on me? What would the process be?
I have two small children and this is really starting to worry me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

He can accuse you of forging a check. Whether or not the police would find the accusation credible is not really something I can assess.
