They are probably fraud. Do yourself a favor and print out the emails, including the headers, and go to your bank and ask for the manager. Show him/her the emails and the money orders. They will be able to determine if they are real, and if not, which is probably the case, they can do a trace to arrest these individuals.

Ah, that's not nice, but it's a great opportunity to knock down someone who really deserves it! Ironically I've never had an offensive one here apart from a cloner threatening me I'd be his next victim. Maybe my avatar scares 'em off.... My last one was in Astronomy & Space while using my other account with a more normal avatar. A questioner asked a question about astrology, claiming he was very insightful. When I politely but humorously pointed out that it might not be enough insight to find the right section (along with many others less polite answers!), I got a stream of polyasterisked abuse from him in an email. Which of course I then added to my reply, with appropriate rebuttal...

Straight off, i would do some research into the company you recieved them from, then check if it is a valid site / buisiness.?? if it is,?? send an e-mail back to them asking for info about the money, and how the scheme works??(might be legal overseas but illeagle over here)?? Then the rest is up to..!!! Just be carefull what you decide to do next..???
"Good luck"

The money order scam is wide spread, they are fakes or stolen and will be returned to your bank and you'll pay fee's up the butt for each one returned to the tune of 30 bucks each then you'll have to return the full amount of the money orders to the bank immediately upon their demand or go to jail.
Either turn them over to your local police, or shred them immediately. DO NOT CASH THEM OR DEPOSIT THEM IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

No. It's not legal. Homeland Security and the FDIC have new regulations governing monies coming into the US. And you have to have asked yourself, why the subterfuge? Sounds very dicey....
And it is also and IRS issue if you don't declare the extra income. be careful....

No, it is a very common scam. The money orders will turn out to be fakes, and you will be out whatever money you gave "back" to them.

Don't do it. They are fake documents. This is the oldest internet scam in the world.

Folward those email to www.fbi.gov and report it as fraud and let them handle it. Otherwise they will continue to rip other people off with their scam.
