<prompt> Human: Ok guys. This is on mobile so be gentle about the formatting.My girlfriend recently deposited a check from a new job that of course asked her to deposit a check and move the money elsewhere. The check bounced, shes out 3,500 and her account is in the negative. She went to Wells Fargo and they let her know that after 60 days, the account would close and go into collections, which would ruin her credit score. She doesnt personally have the cash to pay that back as shes in the middle of college. Her dad isnt in any place to help out. That leaves one of her sisters that has helped her out with other things before and possibly myself.What are her options at this point? Does she bother filing a police report? How does she minimize the impact this has on her future? For me, is this something I help her out with? I have the money, but 3500 would kill over half of my savings and Im at the middle of starting my career and paying off my student loans.Its was a stupid move, but I would appreciate if we can hold off on the judgement. At this point, theres no changing what is done. How does she move forward in the most constructive way possible?  <response>: Do you think she learned her lesson, or is she going to be falling for these scams all her life? If you pay for this one, how many more will you have to pay for after this? Is this someone you can afford to support? Not casting judgement, just trying to bring a practical angle.Is 3500 your down payment? Elderly are more likely to be scammed. If shes losing 3500 as a young person, whats gonna happen when shes 73 and a Nigerian prince gets her email?
