Well I filled out a fraud report and they set me up a new account. I made a list of upcoming debits (utils) and payments (sponsors) so if they come through on the old acct it'll get pointed to the new account. They also were able to immediately connect my debit card to the new acct.

Actually it was worth it as I have a better acct now with no fees. Bank already credited me for the $29.95 and now they are looking into OWE and Mr Arsenault. They said the acct that deposited the check (OWE) may be Mr Arsenault himself or not. Anyhow looks like OWE will eat the $29.95 as they are the last one going back in the paper trail.

I dont understand exactly why they deposited a check to an acct unless OWE was legitimate as otherwise they would have the fraudster dead to rights. It might also be a "phone check" whatever that is, they said.

Kind of complicated but anyhow that's that. Thanks for everyone's input.
