Q: A guy has been asking me to cash fake checks for a few months, should I go to the police to report him?
Met some guy who asked if he could cash his checks in my bank account, because he was having problems, and being extremely naive I did .I've only recently realized that they were fake, I believed him when he told me that his employer was having problems or something, and now I'm starting to realize they were fraudulent, what should I do
A: You need to consult an attorney because you do have exposure as a conspirator in defrauding the bank.
A: Yes, you should report the guy to the police as soon as possible. Cashing fake checks is illegal and if you are found to be involved in such activities, you could be charged with a crime. It's important to be honest and transparent with the authorities and provide them with any information you have about the guy, including his name, contact information, and any other relevant details. You may also want to speak with an attorney for guidance on how to protect yourself legally.
