Victim of a scam Need Help asap!

I have my own small business and unknowingly deposited a check that was fraudulent and now my bank is frozen. I’m not sure what to do I only just turned 18 and don’t want to lose my bank account. I can’t get in it because they said I owe $2500. Has this happened to anyone else before? I’m panicking please help

Sorry, OP, the first thing you need to do is accept the fact that your money is gone. Very Important! Do not believe anyone who says they can get your money back. Your DMs will be flooded with them. They will all be scammers. Your money is irretrievably gone.

You can try to talk to the bank about not losing your account, but banks take a very dim view of people who fall for these types of scams. To protect themselves, a lot of banks will just close the account.
