It is a crime therefore you can go to jail for it. Think about it's just like making fake money-very wrong and unlawful. You know you wouldn't be asking if it was right. Deep down, I think you know the answer-DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowingly writing a Bad check is commiting fraud.
It's also a felony, and nearly impossible to beat in court. I would consider talking to local police about your "friend" and the conversation. Their sounds like a good possibility of a reward for turning that person in.

Are you irrational?
You can go to jail!
If you need help there may be places that can help you! Don't go to jail over a few measly dollars and become a felon, depending on the size of a check!
Some friend!

you can go to jail but for the 1st offense, probably not
you'll also have a "record" that will be with you for life

Yes it's called fraud and a lot of people are in prison for it. I think a significant percentage of women in prison are there for check fraud.

that is a extremely bad idea. you can go to jail for that and it is not that hard to catch you if you do.
