a guy in the UK gave me a check made out in USD for an investment opportunity in the USA.
The check was cashed in a USA bank
the money was handed over to the salesman, who took the money and ran.
Guy in UK has now employed a UK debt collector to chase me for the money.
I still live in USA.
Is this a US debt or a UK debt

Hi Guest,

As far as I understand, this debt originated in U.K. As the guy who gave you the check lives in U.K. the debt can be considered to be originated from there. However, I think you should consult an attorney about this.

Thanks,

Aaron

we have treaties with the UK. I am not sure how this would work out. But if they are willing to pay they can file suit on you here
