i have had 2 very strange answers to my yahoo job search.how can i find out how legitimate these answers are?

Question

one job wants to have companies send money to me in my name,have me cash the checks,keep 20%,and western union them the rest of the money.the other one is from a total stranger wanting me to get $12 million out of a trust fund,keep 20%,and give the rest to the poor and homeless

Answer 1

this is a total scam, you should be very wary of offers like this

Answer 2

I had the same thing happen to me. I had a phone call from an agency telling me they got my name from a job board, they call this job offer "Customer Service Evaluations". I would be given a local store to go to (in my case they told me Walmart), pretend I was a real customer and wanted to western union some money to a family member in Canada. They mailed a check payable to me (about $1600) and told me to cash it at my bank and go to the store to wire some money. Then fill out an evaluation on the service I was given by the store. Well.... before agreeing to do this, my husband did his research and we found out this check was, of course, counterfeit. We took it to our local bank and will be reporting it. BEWARE OF TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE OFFERS!

Answer 3

most of the time if it sounds strange it is I don't think anyone is gonna want to give you millions with no catch to it just beware...There is alot of con artists out there

Answer 4

Answer 5

that is called money laundering and theft

Answer 6
