A.Dear Client,
If you were not aware of your cousin's fraudulent activities and were not involved in them, you may not be held legally responsible for his actions. However, given that your cousin used your house address as his current address, there may be a possibility that law enforcement or legal authorities could contact you or visit your residence during the investigation. It is advisable to cooperate fully with the authorities, provide them with accurate information, and explain that you were unaware of your cousin's activities.
