A potential roommate contacted me to rent a room in my apartment. She agreed to send a holder fee, 400$ (first-month rent), via a check to have the place reserved for her next month when she moves down. She said her financier "accidentally" send her tuition money + rent to me, about 2400. Please note, this woman does not have a bank account. Her finance is being handled by someone else. Conveniently, after sending the check, the financier went on vacation and was out of contact. Being a nice person, I agree to help her out. I deposit the check (it passed) and forward the money (via Zelle) to the person she said will pay her her tuition. I kept the rest (holder fee). Suddenly, she texted me saying she wasn't interested in the place. She agrees to lose her holder fee, then a few days later BofA claimed the check bounced, and now my account is in the negative. What can I do?
