My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
I was involved in a scam where I gave my Debit card information thinking that I would be included in a commison based business. I was told I would recieve a prorated commision check since I was signing up under them only part would be mine. Needing the money I agreed because it sounded good.
Over the weekend I see debit card transactions at ATM's I did not authorize I cancelled my card on Monday because I felt like foulplay was instore. They scammers contacted me and told me they had deposited check and they would sue me/press charges if I did not give them their cut of the money.
Not wanting to be called a thief I agreed to go to bank and give them there cut of money. Keep in mind I am still under the impression that what we are doing is 100% legal. I go into bank and fill out withdrawal slip for 4000$ I have a seat. After waiting I go back up and ask is there a problem she ask me to wait while they verfiy the check.
Later the police shows up and informs me the check is forged/fake. I had never seen the check nor did i sign the check. They made the check deposit into my account.
After seeing the check i could tell it had nothing to do with the MCA business.
Now I am being charged with Felony Criminal Attempt/Theft by deception when i honestly had no intent on stealing or commiting and crimes. I thought it was a sweet business deal and I wanted to be included. After thinking about it yes i was stupid for giving up such vital information like that.
How do i prove to the DA i did not have criminal intent.
Will they drop charges being that I did not deposit the check nor sign it?
What evidence do they have to try to pin me with the charges stated?
Is there a way I can pull atm photos or video to show the scammers?
Thanks for your help im in a bind here and very scared.
