Does a bank have any recourse for payment in personal check, and "scam"?
I purchased some information, geo-survey, etc. from a 3rd party. After receiving the information it literally is for a site I've visited many times in the past years, as well as being widely known. I have reached out to the individual but I have not heard back. It is in the US, TX.

Anyways, I'm hoping they do the honorable thing and send me my $$$ back. If not, would my bank have any leverage, similar to a CC dispute? Anyone? Thanks.

if you paid with a check and it's cashed, you are SOL, senor.

The BBB can help. You can make a complaint online fairly easily.

I've used them before and the businesses have always worked it out

If they cashed the check already? You can't do anything about it.

You should be able to file a claim with your bank stating that it was a fraudulent transaction. They can run a trace on the wire or the check and ask the recipient bank to send the funds back to you. If it is a scam, the recipient's account is probably long closed by now and you will never get your money back.

If it was fraud, you could also file a police report and report them to the Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, etc.
