I was contacted by an individual in California who received two checks in the amounts of more than $1,800 each written off of my checking account. He had all of my information including my routing number and account number. He told me he received the checks from The Family Orthopedic Associates PLC in the U.K. He emailed copies of the checks to me and it blew my mind! I received another call from the MoneyTree in California letting me know they received a check from the same company in the amount of $1,800 written off of my account. I have gone to my bank and they are monitoring my account. How do people in another country steal bank account information? This is very scary and I am not sure what to do next.

The Internet. You wrote a check to someone. That check fell into the hands of someone shady. That shady person used the info on the valid check you wrote, to make fake checks. Since all that is required is an image, the shady person sold the image of his new fake check to other scammers over the Internet.
Armed with the fake checks, the scammers you listed in the title of this report then conned some really stupid people on the Internet to deposit the phony checks in their bank accounts and send them (the scammers) untraceable cash transfers through Western Union. The scammers keep the untraceable cash and the dupes that deposited the phony checks have to pay back their banks.

If you've contacted your bank and reported the fraud, that's all you should need to do. Although you said they are monitoring your account, I think I would have them close the account. Now that it has been compromised, you'll need a different account anyway.
