Re: I have recently spoken to someone...is it a scam?
I NEVER accept payments on behalf of a client. I have access to a client's bank and credit card accounts, but I only access them to download statements and balance them in QuickBooks (and I am bonded as part of the access). If a client has direct deposit to their account and just wants you to balance their statement, that's fine; I do that, too. But even if accepting their deposits is legit, it can lead to the potential claim that you stole some of their receipts and didn't record the payments in their account. I'm not willing to risk that kind of potential problem.
