I got myself into a mess and not sure if the bank that cleared a check should be partly responsible?

I received a check for $4,800 from a company that I thought that I had applied for employment on the internet. I had worked for this same Co. 7 yrs. ago, and so when I received a letter and check fromt them months after I applied, I was a little un easy about it. The check was for a large sum and the instruction where to deposit it into my bank. There was a break down of the amount giving to me. Weekly training for 6 weekss. a shopping trip to take and motel to stay at. Well long story short, I deposit the check after several day, and the bank put a hold on it. About 4 days later, they released the funds and I paid some bills and took the short trip and stayed at a motel as I was told to do.........Well when I returned the bank had reversed the check and you probley know what happened after that. Returned checks and check charges. I called the bank and they said that The check was a fraud, I asked them why would they released the funds to me and that I had waited for that reason. I also told them that they should at least take part of thbl aimim. I am sure you also know the out come of that. Has anyone had togo thru this and what did you do? I feel sstupided, I have always wondered how these older people can fall for these scams. Now i know I was to deposit the check and then take the tripe and then do a wire tranaction and wire them most of the money back. I am on a fixed incomeme and this is really hurting me. Thanks for the ear. Ma
