<prompt> Human: Title says it all, Im hoping someone could shed some light on the matter.I deposited a check from my brothers work that was 5k because he currently doesnt have a bank account so I thought Id just cash it in for him.Forward to 3-4 days later and I just get a statement on my banking app that says RETURN DEPOSITED ITEM closed accountI was wondering if anyone could help me understand what happened and resolve the issue.  <response>: The check was written against a closed account. Theres no money. Your bank will charge you a fee.Two possibilities here:a your brother gave you a fake check and is scamming you.b your brothers employer gave him a fake check and is scamming him.Only you know which is the case.Never cash or deposit checks for anyone else. Theres never any reason to do this.
