I too was contcted by the same fake company/scam!!! I received serveral emails and an offer letter from someone claiming to be Tony Cheng/HR Manager for Quark Engineering. Thanks to all the previous posts, I realized what was going on and later noticed that all the emails I received were sent from several different email addresses, all claiming to be the same person. I am also VERY confused as to how someone would make money off of this???? SOOO discouraging and disappointing!! :x I hope these posts help someone else as well. Here are the email addresses he/they used: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. I'm also copying the text from part of the "offer letter" I received below:

Money Mule Scam . You would be processing fake checks through your bank account and forwarding the money to overseas criminals . The aftermath of this scam would be financially devastating :(
