- Honesty, responsibility and dedication to this new line of work;
- An existing active bank account that you will use to cash money orders and checks (no information is required about your bank account);

Sounds like they want to send you counterfeit money orders and checks and then have you wire them the cash by Western Union, keeping a percentage for yourself.
If this is what they are offering, delete this thing as fast as you can. This is a very common scam and people fall for it all the time.
By the time you find out from your bank that the checks and money orders were fake, you will have already sent the money and will be left holding a less than empty bag. Your bank is going to want the money back and you will not have it because you sent it to the crooks.

I had the same offers, everyone I check smelled like a scam. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. A lot of these companies claim that they can't collect us dollars because of the trade laws in the US or their country and want you to collect the money for them, and deposit into your checking account and then they will request a transfer of the funds out of your account. BOGUS, if a business can market a product in the US the are certainly allowed to collect monies for the sell of goods. I would just delete message and move on to the next legitimate prospective employer.
Good luck on your job hunt.

I got something like that to after further scrutiny I found that it was a check clearing scam.

This screams "SCAM!!!" at me, for one. If it's not downright illegal, it is definitely concealing something. The only required skills are using email and using a bank account? Please.

Forward it on to Monster and ask them for a reply as to whether or not it truly originated from them.

They want you to do money laundering. Personally, my money is clean enough!
