People from foreign company say they need to cash their money from U.S. They send emails that they will send check and say that I get to keep 10% of that check and forward the rest. These kind of jobs are often online these days. Are these job real? do you know people who tried it before?

No, this is a scam. You'll send them their 90%, then the original payment will bounce and you'll be out the money they sent. It's a very common scam these days. Stay away from it!!

Scam.
Major scam.
The checks are bogus. You put them in the bank. The bank is required by law to make the funds available to you after a certain number of days. The bogus check is designed to take longer than that to clear or the scammers are hoping you send them your own money while you wait for the check to clear. You send off the money to the scammers. Soon the bank realizes the check is bad and want the money back from you. However, you have sent it off to these people out of the country, people that you have no chance of locating. You are stuck owing the money and could even face prosecution. I would advise keeping away from these guys.

These jobs are real, but they don't pay you a lot of money and sometimes as a pay they'll give you gift cards for 10 dollars. I know this because i have one for a microsoft word company
