As if a wedding weren't enough to think about, 19-year-old Crystal Barber saidshe's on-the-hook for money stolen from her bank.
She was using Ebay to sell a wedding dress that didn't fit. She learned that it would be cheaper to buy a new one than to alter the old one.
Last week she thought she had found a buyer from England but instead of using Pay-Pal, a trusted internet paying system,thebuyerinsisted on sending her a cashier's check for $2,350 more than she was asking.
He then asked her to wire the extra cash back to England. The check was a fake but the U.C.B. bank in Lawrenceburg cashed it nonetheless.
Now they want their money back, and they want Barber to reimburse them.
Barber said, "I'm very angry and frustrated I'm really upset about it because I'm only 19-years-old, and I don't want to go to jail for a felony on something I didn't even do."
9News tried to contact U.C.B. in Lawrenceburg for comment about their safety protocols but they have yet to return our call.
In the meantime, the F.B.I. said anyone sending you more money than what you're asking for is probably trying to scam you.
