I'm a tutor and I have ads online. Some guy reached out to me and eventually we decided on a time and place to meet. I'm in Canada and he's in the states, so he said a "caregiver" will bring his daughter to my classes (meeting at a local coffee shop).
As for payment, he asked for a quote for X number of classes and I gave him a fixed amount. He said he would send me a check for the fixed period of tutelage. He said his attorney would send the check. Ended up sending extra about $1500 extra and told me to pass along the extra money to his caregiver for his daughter's "travel expenses" and that I would receive $X compensation in return. Couldn't he have just cancelled the check, sent me the correct amount, and send the caregiver the extra $1500?
I haven't cashed in the check yet. He told me to confirm with him when I receive the check which I haven't done either because I want to make sure it's legit before confirming that his check arrived at my address under my full name. Seems a bit fishy. Am I participating in money laundering lol what's happening. What should I do?
EDIT: thank you everyone for your input. Gonna call police
