i was hired by an arts and crafts business in the UK to be an accountant for their company. i have never met these people nor have i spoken or seen them. my job is receive payments on their behalf from their customers in the US, deduct my weekly pay of 10% from the payment sent to me (by check), and then send the remaining balance through western union. this is my first time doing this. is there something i should be aware of? is this a scam? i just got a money order and now i think i should send it, because its not my money. i was advised to send it to Nigeria. is that a good idea.... someone please help me out! thank you SOOO much!! =]

your situation sounds a little fishy. Why would you collect payments for someone else, couldnt they send the payments to the UK? and especially the fact that you have not seen or spoken with your employer. I d try to get in touch with the chamber of commerce in the UK to make sure your employer is on the up and up then take it from there.

that sounds a like a scam to me
the check they send you is probably going be fake or counterfeit
and if you deposit and its turns out be be a counterfeit
as it doesn't make sure why could their customers just send theirr
check directly to the company?
