I know this lady in London and she owns her own business, a purchasing agent firm. Anyways, she has clients that wants to pay w/ checcs in US currency but her bank in London is charging her a high ass % to cash them so she needs a US rep. The clients will make the checc out to me, I cash 'em, and send her the money. I'll get 10 % of each checc, the checcs range from about 4 to 8k. I'm waiting on some checcs right now which is gonna add up to like 22 g's. I was thinkin' about just takin' that and not even gettin' bacc at her, but if this is legit then it would benefit me in the long run not to do that. It'll be a cool side hustle.

1st quesition: Is this illegal? Not really trippin', just wanna know so I know how to play my cards, I'm not tryin' to catch tha federal.

2nd concern: If it is illegal you think it'll bring hella heat. I got a cool job, but I don't want the bank to start gettin' suspisious & start lookin' at my transactions and shit.

Holla at ya boy, serious replys only plz

I dont know if its illegal, but thats kind of dumb to advertise that your waiting on 22 Gs in some operation that may or may not be illegal...especually since this is a public forum and all.

Looks legal to me. You need to make SURE that you will not owe tax on that money though.

If i was you, I would go see a lawyer, or talk to a banker, and lay everything out. It couldn't hurt.
**COSIGNED**
LAST TIME I LOOKED ON HERE NO ONE SOUNDED LIKE THEY WAS ON SOME O.G. LEGAL TEAM OR NOTHING LIKE THAT SO TAD'S RIGHT LOOK OVER THERE
FOR SOME SOUND ADVICE

I wouldn't do it. There are people out there that advertise fuckin around with currency exchange....and that's one thing...and it's risky.....
the big problem is, you will almost for surely be paying a big ass amount of taxes, and that's why no one has already tapped into this homes. I would def. check it out first...it could work, but I seriously doubt it

This sounds like a scam to me too. You know this lady in London? Are you sure you just didn't reply to some BS spam email? You better watch what you do. Don't give out any info on yourself and if you get them checks in the mail have the bank authorize them before you try to cash it. Basically find out if they are legit before you go and try to cash anything.

Yea I know her but that doesn't necessarily mean she's not on some shifty shit that's why I'm askin' for advice. I don't put shit pass anyone, and nah this ain't through no spam mail. My eyes are open. My first thought was- Damn, if this bitch is makin' paper like this, I mean w/ her own business and shit why she so dependant on me to cash these checcs for her, you feel me? She needs a Us rep but she owns a muthafucca business and has clients all over the world. If she has that much clout, it shouldn't be hard for her to find someone that "she knows a little better" for this kinda transaction. I told her that I was the same nigga she knew before she left so I don't know why she would entrust me w/ her money.

Did you meet this individual through a junk/spam e-mail by any chance?

if not, go for it...

I'm just sayin though, cause I've spoken to at least a dozen 'African Princes' who claim they can't get to their riches in a European bank and need a EUCC benefactor to help em etc.... Shit is faulty as fuck.

Sounds like money laundering to me...and your bank will definitily notify the feds if you're cashing $8000 checks every couple of days and not depositing anything...

Why doesn't she just open an acct in the US, and have you or someone else deposit the checks for her? Seems fishy, and very illegal...not only federal but international also...

scam, might take some days to weeks to catch up with you, but your bank will hold you responsible for all those funds because the checks will end up coming back unpayable and you will be the person who got the cash for them so they will hold you responsible

I was just reading about stuff like this on the FBI website. This particular situation seems pretty shady to me. Like ol' dude said above, why doesn't she just open up a bank account here and have you deposit into THAT account? I have a good answer for that, she doesn't wanna get popped...she would rather use your bank account and have you take the heat for it, that's what it REALLY sounds like to me.
