If a sales agent for a company (vacuum company) takes a check from a customer for $100 as a downpayment, cashes it and doesn't put the money into the company but pockets it, what kind of legal or criminal action can be taken against them? Also, since the transaction was done while the person was making a sale and acting as an agent for the company, wouldn't the company be liable for paying back the customer?.... would it make a difference if the person was acting as an independant agent?
The customer filled out a contract with the company the agent was representing and the check was going toward the downpayment on financing that she was applying for with that company.
