Is it Illegal to Cash a Check for a Service that I Provide, Before I Actually Provide the Services?
I provide cleaning services and was contacted by a gentlemen saying he needs to have his apartment cleaned before returning to the US. He sent a check in my name so I cashed it. I repeatedly asked him for the location of his apartment so I could complete the cleaning, he continued to put it off. He later emailed me informing me to wire money out of state, which seemed odd so I didn’t. Was it illegal in any way to cash the check?
