Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
I was mailed a check for in return for services yet rendered plus an additional amount,and the sender is requesting that I deposit the check,keep my first weeks' pay plus an additional amount for a couple supplies needed for the job and then wire transfer the rest to another individual. The check isn't from a person,but from a major university here in the U.S. I contacted the bank on the check and even spoke with the branch manager who verified the account and funds availability. What do I do?
