About 5 months ago I met this guy who convinced me that he can get me a job in a well-known firm. For that, he asked me for Rs.15k, which I paid him, in good faith, by means of two checks of state bank of India (in installments). Since then, he's been offering me one pretext or another for not being able to offer the job. I politely asked me to refund me my money in case he's not able to give me the promised job, and he promised to call me when the money is ready but neither he calls nor he takes my calls anymore. I am in a fix. Both the checks were crossed checks (he forced me to do this: account payee check). I called my bank but they said in such matters I have to visit the branch.
I don't want to look like a fool so before I visit the branch can anyone tell me if I can still get the money by bouncing/dishonoring the checks somehow? Is it still possible after 5 months have passed?? I have the check numbers noted already!
I also don't want cops in any of these. We all know how they do things. Plus this guy lives in another district and he's got quite an influence with the locals there!
