I deposited a cheque from my sugar daddy and then he asked me to send someone money. I only sent a little bit, but then I canceled the transactions before they were completed and my sugar daddy hasn't noticed yet.

What do I do? He emailed me the cheque, then I deposited it through my mobile app. Now I'm freaking out. Please tell me what to do. Can my account get hacked? Can my bank get hacked? Do I call my bank and ask them to cancel the deposit? What do I tell them? Will I get fired from my job if I work for the financial side of the bank? Please help me, I am so scared right now.

Please be kind.

The cheque is likely to be stolen, forged, drawn on an account with no money, or taken in payment for goods that will never be sent (because they don't even exist).

It will bounce sooner or later.

Can my account get hacked?

No

Can my bank get hacked?

No

Do I call my bank and ask them to cancel the deposit? What do I tell them?

Contact the bank and tell them that you suspect the cheque may be fraudulent. Do not spend any of the money, or send it to anyone else. The money could be taken back from your account at any time.

Will I get fired from my job if I work for the financial side of the bank?

Probably not. But you may get a stern talking to.

A friend of mine received a cheque as a payment and sent it to the bank. Later on the bank said that the cheque was forged or no enough money in it. Unfortunately he already spent the money, and he OWES the same amount of money of the cheque.

So just to be safe, wait for some days until you can withdraw money from the cheque. But I'm pretty sure that's a scam.
