    Post How Do I File Charges for Online Bank Fraud when the Person Lives in Another State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York/Illinois

    This morning I saw that my mother illegally gained access to my bank account and wired 900 dollars over to hers. I contacted the bank and stopped the transfer from taking place but what legal actions can i take place i feel it is attempted theft (900 dollars) and with me living in Chicago and her living in NY where do i begin to take action?

    I presume that your bank asked you to complete an affidavit of some sort that asserted that this access was without your permission and unlawful? That would generally be the first step.

    The second step would be to contact your local police department to report the incident to them They can make a determination as to what - if anything - they can do about it.

    Understand that while this SOUNDS easy, there are a number of ways that a third party could use your mother's account to steal money from you. It will take a little bit of investigation and a subpoena and a search warrant or two to try and paint a clearer picture and establish culpability.

    Has your mother admitted to this crime? Do you have reason to believe she would actually try it? Why and how does she have YOUR bank account info?
