Answer 1

you may be reliable but the person who signed it isn't






.

Answer 2

You are liable.

NEVER 'cash' a cheque for some-one else .. if it 'bounces' (and you already paid them) YOU have to go after THEM for repayment (the Bank will not want to know).

There is a well known scam that involves asking you to cash a cheque in UK for some 'commission' and send the money off by Western Union (or other non-refundable means) to some criminal abroad.

Usually the cheque is from some Nigerian Business Bank Account. All seems OK - your Bank will 'credit' the money and after checking all is OK for a week or two, you keep your 10% or 20% 'commission' and send the rest off to the scam artist.

A month or two later the scan artists friend (who works in the Nigerian Bank) will 'discover' that the cheque is a 'fake' !

The Nigerian Bank will 'reverse' the transaction, and so will your Bank.

Since you already sent the money off, you end up with an overdraft ...

Answer 3

The person who wrote the cheque that bounces is liable (not reliable - means something quite different) Which cheques do you believe are scams ? If someone makes a cheque out to you, and there are not sufficient funds in the bank to cover it, that's fraud.

Answer 4

Be wary of cashing any check that you aren't sure of. I think you need to provide more info, though, in order for people to understand the situation.

Answer 5

You'd get more answers if you at least attmepted to use proper spelling and grammer.

Answer 6

You will be liable, and out of pocket

Answer 7

What ?? you don`t make sense
