What are the risks of committing fraud?
What happens if I commit fraud?
Committing fraud can have serious consequences:
- Cashing Fraudulent Checks: If you cash a fraudulent (“fake”) check, you risk being caught and held responsible for the owed money. Additionally, you may face criminal charges.
- Online Scams: Avoid clicking on links promising money or requesting you to send money. These could be scams aimed at defrauding you.
Remember: If It Seems Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is!
Be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true. Exercise skepticism and do your research before engaging in any financial transactions or commitments.
