Charged with Bad Check Fraud or Forgery?

Bad check fraud occurs when you attempt to pay for something using a check that you know has no funds behind it, a check that is drawn on a fictitious bank, or any other attempt to use a false instrument to obtain property with intent to defraud.

Forgery occurs when you falsely sign someone else's name without their knowledge or permission, or use a fictitious name to pass a check, money order, or other monetary instrument.
