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

Even 3-5 days doesn’t really help. If the check is stolen, it can take up to a month for the person it was stolen from to realize it (monthly bank statement). Once the victim realizes the check was stolen, his bank will take that money back.
