| Jan 26, 2020 at 23:06 | comment | added | Quora Feans | @jmoreno: not being able to use money in an account does not mean "no deposit". It could perfectly be that the source of illegal funds was a fraudulent check or that the owner of the origin raised an alarm. But I understand your point. Maybe it was only about the OP and the con-artist. It remains a scam, but his legal situation is less serious. Answer updated accordingly. | |

I find the later unbelievable, OTOH I totally believe in pending deposits that never complete because the source of funds doesn’t actually exist. No deposit = no illegally acquired funds. | |

This amount was obviously acquired illegally. And he possibly felt the "world was a beautiful place". The whole thing has burst, since he tried to withdraw this money from his bank account. | |

If the OP was being used as a mule, the OP would not be here complaining of having been ripped off to the tune of $1,200, instead the OP would be at home feeling that the world was a beautiful place where strangers gave away $600 dollars just because, at least until the police knocked down the front door and started being nasty about it. | |
