I received quite a number of job offers via e-mail as payment representative. These people are apparently from other countries (ireland, africa, china) with businesses or projects and they need people to transact money for them in the U.S. They ask for my full name, address, and other personal details. It says "these payments are in form of money orders or cashier's checks and they would be made in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage (10%) and wire the rest back" to wherever country they're in. It's obviously a scam, but does anyone know exactly how it works??? Thanks!

DON'T DO IT!!! It's a scam. They get you to open a bank account, then they get you to deposit phony, worthless checks (most often drawn on banks that don't exist) then, as quickly as possible, get you to forward that amount on to their accomplice. He withdraws the cash. Then the original check that you deposited bounces and you get stuck with an overdrawn bank account. IT'S A FRAUD.
