Q: My roommate came home yesterday with cashiers check made out to him with his name misspelled the cashiers check was for
$34,000. The next morning he took it to his boss to get advise. His boss told him to just go home and then meet him at his house at 2pm and he (the boss) would take him to cash it. At some point the boss told my roommate that he would give him $1000. So he then comes home and tells me everything that his boss had said. And then he left for a while. About 5 minutes after he leaves his boss leaves a voicemail on my phone saying for me to get in touch with him because the check that he has is bogus and that he better not cash it because he is working with the police to catch a crook about buying boats. And he he tries to cash the cashiers check that he will be going to jail. And 2, in the voicemail he (the boss) says that he already had it worked out with 2 of the security guards at the gate to be sure and give that to him ( the boss and not my roommate). And he said the reason its in my roommates name is because he doesn't have any credit that it would mess up. Cashing checks for $34k
A: Roommate needs to find a new boss. Don't cash check or he will be in jail
