My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I mistakenly cashed an IRS tax return check to the wrong person. The check was presented to me by the sister of the payee, with the same first and last names. I have a copy of her DL. She signed it and made no mention of a sister with a same name or that it was not her check.......Few months after this incident, her sister, the real payee visits my shop and tells me she will claim this check (over $2000) and that I cashed the check that belonged to her to her sister of the same name......Yesterday, the bank withdrew the check amount from my account.....The sister that cashed the check has now moved and I cannot locate or contact her....Advise on options is duly appreciated.
