Thanks for posting that. It appears to be a standard "check processing" scam in which the victim receives fake checks, cashes them, sends the money (less a small percentage as "payment") and ends up in trouble with the bank with the check bounces.

That is a typical employment scam, couched in terms that make it sound as it were legitimate. The real story is that you'd be cashing fake checks.... It always comes down to the same thing. I'm glad you recognized it as fake.
