A credit union charging you for check fraud, and the State charging you for check fraud are two different things.  Look carefully at who is charging you.  If it is the State charging you, you could be facing time in the Illinois Department of Corrections. If it is the credit union, they are likely seeing money damages.  Be very careful about answering any questions the police ask you, especially if they ask you whether you knew the check was fake or not when you followed the instructions.
