Did you really think someone was going to pay you to receive checks for them?
Not Smart!
This scam is often referred to as the 4-1-9 scam, ironically after section 4-1-9 of the Nigerian Penal Code which relates to fraudulent schemes. While the Nigerian government periodically makes grand statements that it is cracking down on the scam, it isn't -- for the reason that the scam was, according to some reports, the third-largest industry in Nigeria!!! This is just too large a business for Nigeria to crack down on -- it would be like Nevada trying to close the casinos.

Report them to the police. It is bank fraud. If it's interstate fraud the FBI might like to hear about it.
They have a lot on their plate these days but they do prosecute.
