<prompt> Human: Trying to help my father by doing him a favor, hes selling a boat for 9000 dollars and hes afraid that if it goes through his account that it could disrupt his Medicare or social security or something Im not an expert on this, AT ALL but he has cancer and hepatitis and cannot afford a disruption to his medication and the guy wont bring him cash. So he asked if the cashiers check is made out to me, if I would be ok depositing it until it clears and giving him the money. My question is if that will put any flags on my account, affect credit, etc?Edit: I shouldve been more clear, my dad knew this guy personally , he couldve wired it to me as well he just didnt want to carry 9k in cash from MI to NC, the question wasnt about fraud it was more about flags on my account for the amount, tax issues, etc. He ended up talking the guy in to bringing cash and I told him to open a safe deposit box so his benefits wouldnt be disrupted.  <response>: Sounds like a scam. You shouldnt be laundering money for your father even if it wasnt a scam.
