I got an email from some person telling me that he represented some company in UK with address and phone number and I was told that if I work as a finance coordinator for them they will pay me. I was told that I would be getting there money, from which I will deduct 10% as my commission and send rest of money to someone through western union. I thought it was a fraud but was really surprised when I got money order worth $3400 by UPS and got an email from UK company representative to cash the amount and send 90% of money to a specific address. I am confused now. It seems to be too good to be true. what should I do now? please help me. bundles of thanks for the helpers.

the check is bad. you will deposit it and the bank will not clear it. but meanwhile, you will think that you have deposited a good check and you will send them 90%. Then , in about 8 business days, you will get a letter from your bank saying the check bounced. But, you already sent them all that money. This is a very common nigerian scam. If you want to be safe, tell them you are going to wait for the check to clear. Watch how angry they get. They will tell you all sorts of reasons that you need to send money now. BUT DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!
I hate these nigerian scammers taking advantage of Americans. F*** THEM!! do not respond to their emails no matter what they say. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!!! THE CHECK IS BAD!!!!!

The one guy is so right. It's part of the Nigerian scam. You will be held prsonally responsible when the check does not clear in 5 to 10 days. Looked good on paper there huh???

Tell the police about it. This is certainly too good to be true because it is money laundering. Western Union are used by many money launderers.
Oh well, good whilst it lasted !

Cash the money order and keep the money. This is part of a drug money laundering scheme. You will never get a second money order, and if you do, you are helping criminals.
