Westar Mortgage, Larry Williams, Dana Hornaday
Queja 156765 Detalles

I received a check in the above amount with the names Westar Mortgage/Loan Servicing and Wells Fargo Bank on the top part of the check. It appeared to be a valid check and I was expecting a settlement check from the governor's deal with Wells Fargo, so I thought this was the check expected. It was signed by "Larry Williams" and I cashed it at a local check cashing store. Days later, the check store notified me that the check was not being honored and that it was declared to be fictitious and fraudulent. I had already spent over a thousand dollars from the check funds, and had to repay the entire amount of the check to the check store.So I am out the thousand which I spent in reliance on the check. I received the check in an envelope with the return address here:
Dana Hornaday
150 Harvey Bend Rd, Clayhole KY 41317-9004

There was no letter included in the envelope, just the check. There had been no contacts from anyone about this check prior to my receipt of it and no contact at all after either. I do not understand how the scammer made any benefit from this fraud, since whoever it was got no money from me and the only loss seems to be to me.
