Bank Account Theft by Deception
Transcript
If you've been charged with theft by deception for having a third party transfer money into your account and then ultimately you transfer that money to another person, you could be facing anywhere from jail time to a period of probation if you are convicted of that offense. It's important to understand that most of the time what's happening with this is it's it's a scam where somebody is asking you to deposit something for them because they don't have an account and then they need you to transfer it. Maybe they're going to give you a little bit of money for it, or maybe they're not. But it's important to understand if you're approached by somebody asking you to do this that you should be very hesitant about doing it. And if you, if you do actually do it, you need an attorney who can basically get in front of this, get the documentation to the prosecutor, and prevent charges from being brought against you.
