What is the name of your state?undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Guam. I was approached via email to be a payment representative for a company in china who deals with imports and exports. customers were to send me thier payments i depoist them into an account, and wait for the check to clear take 10% for my payment, and send the rest to the company. A customer sent a check for $20,000.00, i depoisted the check, the bank cleared it in less than the normal time. I used the funds, being that it was agreed that on the other payments i recieved i would not deduct the 10%. it turned out that the check the customer sent was altered. the bank said the check was supposed to be $320.00 not $20,000.00
The police have been questioning me, and i explained to them the situation. I told them I had no knowledge that the check was altered in any way. I also told them that the company advised me that I should be recieving a check for that amount. I never knew or had any idea that the check was altered or forged. I provided email conversations and also gave the name and the phone number of the person who sent me the check. i saved the envelope from where the check was mailed in. the police came to my house and siezed all the things i bought with the money. which of course i consented.
i would like to know if i can be charged with anything? and if yes what will the charges be?
Thanks
