Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low

Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low Georgia
I received a counterfeit check as a deposit for a job I was supposed to do the weekend of - -. I deposited the check on Saturday, - - and it cleared and was posted to my account Monday, - -. On Tuesday, the funds were there, so I withdrew $2800.00 to pay someone else working on the same production and deposited into another account at the same bank. There was no sign of a problem until after the close of business that evening, around - -, when I happened to look at my bank account and saw that it was - $2300.00. Confused and shocked, I called Wells Fargo to figure out what was going on and after speaking with - people I finally found out that the check was counterfeit. They told me that I was responsible for the transaction that I had made while the check was posted and that there was no other option besides just paying the money back. I obviously would n't have made the transaction if I had known it was a counterfeit check and I was being scammed, but they did n't care at all about that. I called the police and
there was nothing they could do, but I could call Loss Prevention and they might have mercy on me. They did n't. I have now spoken with - or - people at Wells Fargo and no one is willing to so much as inquire into the other party 's account to see that he is a criminal. I feel very wronged, not only by the scammers, but by Wells Fargo for not caring that I have been stolen from and lied to and that the person doing it is a customer of theirs. As it stands, they have used the $550.00 I had in that account toward the negative balance of $2800.00 so I now owe the bank $2300.00 ( part of which is money I worked hard to earn ) for a counterfeit check that was given to me.
