Re: about a check that was sent out of state

First, since the crime occurred in PA you need to direct your question to a PA attorney. I'm licensed only for the state of Washington. Next, your friend needs to understand that coming to a civil agreement (paying the 208) will not in anyway bar a criminal complaint (they can still turn it into the police and probably already did). I don't understand why they want the 208 since she never received the items. However, as I said, this should be directed to a PA attorney. If you get charged locally please feel free to contact me again.

At your service,
