Has anyone heard of an internet scam concerning payment (sent to you in a money order)?

Question

They want me to cash them, keep 10%, and send the rest via western union. I don't know if they are legal, or if they were stolen. Also, they want it sent to Nigeria.

Answer 1

It's a scam, and a very old one at that.

The money orders are fake, and your bank will hold you responsible for all the money.

Answer 2

Answer 3
