This can be considered a felony for uttering and publishing, a charge in which you present either a fraudulent check/monetary instrument to the bank to cash, or you present the check under fraudulent means. You can also be charged with false pretenses, which means that you attempted to engage in a financial agreement with the bank under false means in an effort to defraud the bank. If you have yet to be charged, I would not worry to much, but I would definitely advise you to consult with a criminal defense attorney in your area for more specifics.
