<prompt> Human: Im a tutor and I have ads online. Some guy reached out to me and eventually we decided on a time and place to meet. Im in Canada and hes 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 daughters travel expenses and that I would receive X compensation in return. Couldnt he have just cancelled the check, sent me the correct amount, and send the caregiver the extra 1500?I havent cashed in the check yet. He told me to confirm with him when I receive the check which I havent done either because I want to make sure its 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 whats happening. What should I do?EDIT: thank you everyone for your input. Gonna call policeUpdate: Canadas fraud services with the RCMP literally always has a full line and they dont queue you instead they just tell you to try again later. Would love to play pranks with this guy but Im just going to ignore it at this point because the guy has my name and address and safety is 1 priority. Thanks everyone for your help! Appreciate all of it.  <response>: Scam. The check will eventually bounce. Toss the check and ignore any future communications. Classic fake check scam.
