being sued

[greentree]

I was approached by a fellow worker that asked me to do research for her 1 1/2 years ago for companies so she could buy stocks if she liked them. She said she would give me 20% of the profits she made. She gave me a check for 2,000.00 sometime later and she then with my permission at another date put 5,000.00 into my account. Some time ago she told me that she lost all her money and asked to borrow 500.00 I told her I didn't have 500.00 to lend her, for I too lost all my money in stocks also. She was furious and felt I owed her. So she demended all her money back and said that what she gave me was a loan, The money she paid me was by checks from her. Now she is suing me and claiming it was money lent.

She has engaged me into converastions and has recorded bits and pieces of her claiming to me that it was a loan and not payment for what she said. I don't know exactly what she has recored. We did have disagreements about her claims and she knows that it was payment. Know she wants to use the recorded broken conversations as proof aganist me.

Along with copies of her checks. There was never any documents
signed by me agreeing to any kind of loan. Nor that any aggrement was signed by me stating that I was to be paid the 20% of the money she made.

What kind of case does she have against me.
Can someone tape record conversations with out you knowing.
Can the conversations if they never exactly specified the amounts mentioned and are vauge be used as tool by her to try and prove it was a loan when it wasn't.

She would start conversations like "I have nothing in writting, will you sign a paper stating that I loaned you money" Then she would walk away. Start another conversation at another time about some other situation, listen to me and then walk away.

I realized she was up to no good.

Is this admissible in court.

If there is no binding agreement in paper signed by me stating I agreed to recieve money because I understood it was a loan.

Isn't that enough for me to say it wasn't a loan.

also this happened 1 1/2 years ago and one of her checks was directly deposited into my account as a gift.
It was placed ther as payment because she said she was up 70,000,00 dollars.


Now that she lost it all and alot of her money she is desparate to get money.

She has worked hard in trickery and now it is a civil case.

What are my options, CAN SHE RAIL ROAD ME WITH RECORDINGS
THAT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I WAS LOANED MONEY FROM HER.

thanks

Why don't you try actually reading the posts before giving your ridiculous reply??

You replied - If she can prove she gave you money to invest, you better be able to prove you did so (on her behalf), or be ready to pony up the difference.

Where did you read ANYWHERE in greentree's post that he/she was given the money to invest for the other person? To call greentree a liar because you can't read properly is gong too far! I'm already tired of your "Judge Judy" shtick and plan to skip over your demeaning and thoughtless replies in the future.

Greentree's questions can only be answered after he/she tells us what state the case is in.
