XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I received two checks from them and deposited them into my Chase checking account as instructed to do. Then I proceeded to pay the travel agents as directed. Eventually the checks were deemed counterfeit ( well after the funds showed they were available in my account and I had already forwarded the money via XXXX to two different travel agents ). 

I have taken this up with my bank twice and twice they declined to help or refund my {$3000.00} that was stolen from me due to what I later learned was a scam.
