Hello to all. I need to get some advice from someone who is familiar with the laws of international commerce. Recently, I meet someone who gave me an offer. They own a trading company in the city of Bristol, in the UK, and they offered me an opportunity to make money as their book keeper / payment collector. Here is there website http://www.bishopstontrading.co.uk . They want me to receive checks for wholesale orders from their business customers at my mailing address and then forward the money to them via Money Gram Money Transfer or Western Union Money Transfer. They will allow me to take $300 out of each check that I send. The reasons they give for wanting me as an employee is as follows:
1)The cost of coming down to the state to receive the payment and get it cashed 2) If the payment are sent here down to us in UK,it take a very long time to clear and it in one way or the other delay us 3) if we cash check that are out of UK the Govt would charge 25% of it as tax
Is this legal?
