This is the situatuon. I received a job offer online and I now know it is a scam. I have not given them any of my info except my address to send payments to. I received 2 money orders via UPS and i am told to cash it with my bank account and take 10% and send the rest via western union to two addresses in Nigeria. I know it is a scam I just need to know who I should get intouch with.

You need to report it to the National Fraud Information Center. http://www.fraud.org/
On the government side, the US Secret Service asks that victims of this fraud report it to their financial crimes division. Telephone 202-406-5850 or by email which can be found here:

Since you received the money orders by mail, contact your local postal inspector. You could also try the local police department. Thank goodness you didn't cash them--they're most likely counterfeit, and you'd be out the money!!
