If anyone could link me to some information concerning the situation: A. (employee) is given payment check from B. (corporation) on 6-30-2005, check is cashed. A. (employee) recieves mail check on 6-31-2005 from B. (corporation) in a (error of some kind?), A. (employee) signs check over to another party in order to recieve payment again. Im looking for any kind of outcome that has occured to that particular situation, thanks.

So you want to steal some money, and want to be reassured that you won't get caught?

trying to break it down.......

silly is given a check from simoncorp...
Silly cashes check on 6-30-05...
Silly then receives another (?) check from simoncorp. a day later..
check is the identical to the previous check with the exception ( and this is important ) of the check number..
Silly signs check #2 over to friend who cashes it for said friend (silly) to gain second payment for same work performed..

Now you want to know what can be the reprecussions from such an action?

LOL depends on what country, state, city you live in, and their views on it..
AND how much said check was for...

Well it seems they are aware that they made an error, but Im still gonna do it and see what happens.

Depends how soon they notice they've done it. I think the laws give them a certain time to notice. If they've noticed already, or notice soon, you'll be expected to give them the money back or it's some type of fraudulent shit. Otherwise, if they don't notice after like a year, and you can say you thought it was like over-tax repayment or something. Then you'll prolly be alright.

I wouldn't risk it.

Most likely they will notice it.. But they will follow it with a repayment from a check you get after that..

Blah, I had to return it to them.

well, that is the safer route...

Why would you have even went ahead with cashing the second check once you knew they had realized their error?
