I had gone to the casino with a "friend" of mine roughly about a year ago. She had owed me some money so I didn't have to bring any with me because she said she was going to pay me back. We played for awhile and were doing very well and then she hit $10,000!! It was awesome, and she gave me $1,200.
I deposited the $1200 into my account. She called me the next day telling me she had a $700 check she needed to cash and was wondering if she gave me an extra $200 if I would put it in the bank for her. Of course I said yes being greedy and so we went to the bank ATM where she had the envelope all ready and I deposited it and gave her about $500 in cash.
Anyways, to make a long story short, there obviously was no check, so not only did I lose the 500 that I withdrew and gave to her, I was charged 700 dollars for an "empty envelope" fee and my account was closed. So totally, I lost $1200 dollars, and obviously she is nowhere to be found. I do know her name and previous employment and address, but I just need to know if I have a case or not.
 
I don't understand but it sounds like you were scammed. To begin, I don't know why your "friend" gave you $1,200. I'm also not sure how you could "put $200 in the bank for her" either. I also don't know how you were charged $700 either. Little of this makes sense to me and if you went in with "unclean hands" then going to court may not provide you with a remedy.
 
She had owed me money when we went to the casino so when she won the 10,000 she gave me 1200. When I say I put 200 in the bank for her, she gave me a check for 700 dollars and I gave her 500 in cash, but I did not realize there was no check in the envelope so my bank charged me 700 dollars for an "empty envelope" fee. So not only did I lose 500 I gave her, they charged me another 700 for the fee totalling 1200. I realize i was scammed I just wanted to know if I had anything on her or not.
