My brother is a 19 year old student who was approached by a friend asking if he wanted to make money and told my brother they could split the cash. The “friend” told my brother what he needed from him, bank login, birthday, and last four digits of SS. My brother proceeds and gives him all the info he asked for. Then that “friend” made a fake check out and put my brothers name on it and did a mobile deposit to my brothers bank account. My brother didn’t know anything about the fake checks being created, he was just doing what his “friend” was telling him to do. That friend then withdrew the money when the checked cleared and now there’s a negative overdraft of $25k. My mom found out about this and went to my brothers bank and they suggested to file a police report so we wouldn’t be liable for the overdraft payment. My brother had no idea this was going to happen and was just going along to what his “friend” was telling him. He wasn’t involved in the forgery and he received no money. His bank is at a never overdraft. What should we do if we file the police report would my brother be criminalized? He is afraid this may leave him with a record. What should we do? File the report?
