Many people are like that,, you should be careful and make sure the people you lend are trustworthy,, or you'll end up with no money!

Hire a lawyer.\n\nMost are put in place to protect one persons assets from the other.

If I could have the money up front yes, or even in some type of escrow account that the person paying it couldn't access once the money was there unless I didn't live up to my end of the deal.

First you must understand the person or put yourself in his shoes.  Forgive the fault but be on guard that it might happen again.  This is what you do to deal with mistrust.\n\nIf you find people not trustworthy, just deal with them in tasks you believe that both of you can come along with naturally.  Do not totally close your doors to them.  You may be an instrument to help them be trustworthy people.\n\nIf the person fails in a certain situation, definitely he has a strength or asset in other aspects to overpower the mistrust.  If the person borrows money but fails to pay his debts, thus do not deal with him in money matters.  Let us say he is great in assembling/repairing computers and/or cooking.  Then put your trust in computer and/or cooking related things.\n\nOnce you develop trust in some tasks, go back to the task he has weakness on.  Do test him in a small task.  If he ask to borrow say 100 dollars, lend him say 10 dollars (reason out that it is the only amount you can lend). See how he will respond.  Maturity grows over time.

The person that you sent the money order to will still be able to cash.  As long as that individual have id, they should be fine, and long as the money order is not fake, there should not be any problems with them cashing the money order.

If they gave you written permission (literally written and signed), then you are ok. But if there is none, I just hope this person doesn't send out an arrest warrant. Because there is no proof that you have the right to take money out.

I'm sure there are different kinds, but the one that's prominent at present is where a couple of people conspire to cause a property value to be exaggerated and then they buy the property using someone else's ID and the mortgage co., gives them the money to buy the house and they abscond with the money.  The person whose ID was used has been known to get stuck with the bill....I watched W5 or some such tv show in Canada about it.

Where does somebody get that much money from ... and they want you to put it in your account??? Uh your friend could be commiting tax fraud and making you take the fall for it.\n\nAlso how will you guys work out the interest??\n\nThis is so dodgy I wouldn't do it even if it was legal - which that sum of money why isn't your friend putting it in their own savings account???

One obvious weakness would be having the same person who approves the purchase be the one who cuts the check. You need to have a separation of duties.

How much can I pay for someone not to?

Yes they can.  They check to make sure that you're not overdrawn and owe them more money.

Use proper English if you want people to help understand you. IF you don't give details, how do you expect someone to help you. I bet you are one of those who claim to have a large bank account frozen so you can transfer the money into a open account in the US to rob someone. Old trick. Give it up. They are not that many stupid people here.

You cannot save every sucker from him/herself. But bankers could be more careful about wiring money to Nigeria. It's amazing how many bankers ask no questions when victims of scam artists ask to wire $1 million, more or less, to an unknown account in a Lagos bank.

No, they cannot do that, you can report them for threating you. The only property they can take is what you paid for on the credit card, which most companies will not do, since what you bought is usually not worth the money it requires them to get it. Just hang up on them. It will eventually go to charge off.

I don't think it will affect their credit rating at all.  It might affect yours though, if that person runs up a big bill and deosn't pay it and you are left holding the bag.  Unless it is a close family member and one you really trust I'd be careful.
