    Fraud Under 5000,00, what will happen
    I had been working for a temp agency and when I stopped working the company did not tell the temp agency that I had quit so I continued submitting my weekly time sheets (with fake signature of supervisor) so I would be paid. This happened for 5 weeks and I received approx $2200.00.
    I haven't been charged with fraud yet however I am extremely worried that the temp agency is going to take this to the police.
    I am in my early 30's and I have never had any issues with the police in my life.
    As a first time offender I am just wondering if this does go to court what can I expect. Is is possible to go to jail for a long time?
    Thanks for any responses.

    Hello I:

    It IS, although I doubt you'll go for a LONG time. If you want to mitigate the sanctions, hire a lawyer.

    I would expect to be charged. Have you paid the money back?

    You will probably be fined and put on probation UNLESS there is part of a scheme involving several people.
