Question: Is this transaction Illegal?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Don't do it.

Answer #2:

This is a scam. Because you are the person cashing the traveler's checks, you are responsible for them. One of the protections of a traveler's check is that it has already been paid for with cash. However, in this instance, I'm guessing the checks are counterfeit. You'll have to make restitution on the cashed checks while you've sent the money to someone you will never see again.

Avoid it like the plague!

Answer #3:

It might not be a hoax, however your just a "tool" or "pawn". See those checks they are sending you could be stolen or laundered money, by using you to cash them they can avoid anything being pinned on them. It like drug mules, youll face any legal action, while theyll profit. Yea it is a little weird.

Answer #4:

Its ILLEGAL, and your stuck with the money inbalance from the bank, plus fees and maybe get jailtime!

Answer #5:

Typical scam. The checks are worthless, but the bank wont catch on to that until after you have cashed them and handed over all the money - which means your bank is going to charge YOU for the amount of the check, and you will be responsible for paying it.

Answer #6:

Go to the police.
