Scammers are really hard to catch. And they usually don’t work alone, which makes it ever harder.
I don’t know if they get caught. Some do and some don’t. You aren’t responsible for the amount though and banks would reinstate it. I don’t suggest you accuse anyone but you should have a police report done and let them investigate.
No matter how careful you are, scammers find the way. But as a step one you should hide your checkbook and your cards when you have strangers in the house.

The 2 checks that were lost or more likely, stolen was never received from the credit card company. I dropped both letters off at the post office inside & gave them to the clerk there.
I don’t know for sure if the fraudulent check was stolen in the mail or IF the maid stole one of our checks. I might have forgot to put the checkbook in my purse which I kept right by me at all times.
I’d hate to think the maid stole the check. Especially since I was watching her most of the time from another room. I walked into the kitchen a few times when she was there too.
I heard that scammers can erase ink off of checks. Scary! I’ll never hire that maid again as I suspect it was her. The copy of check looked real. I didn’t say anything to her after hearing what I did of course.
