I have had this actually happen.
The check is deposited into your account. The bank 'credits' your account the day it arrives and then days later the check comes back as counterfeit.
It's the time/days between deposit and when the check is actually found to be counterfeit is what the scammers are working within. Sometimes making the check for over the amount and before it's found to be counterfeit the victim has sent back the difference.
YOU are held responsible, AND it's a felony rap. Yes I know that's wrong but that is the way it is. Just google the people who were arrested when they came in a day later to withdraw some money from their own account.
A person bouncing a check on you is one thing these scammers use conterfeit checks. That's were the felony charges come in on the account it was deposited.
