Is THIS a scam???
Permalink  

I need to know if the following is a scam.  I got the job, but this is what my new employer wants me to do.  Please respond asap:

   Here's the cashing details and info on how you'll complete this transaction.I would like you to go over to your bank to complete the newly received transaction.The payment's either a Blank CVS Pharmacy or an Albertson Money gram Money Order,you pen your name,address and sign on it.I specifically had the buyers buy these types cause I know they are easily cashable,they are everywhere plus they have been pre-bought with cash so you have nothing to worry about in the area of insufficient funds or other.I specifically requested all payments be in this form for all our sakes mine,yours and the buyer's.  Simply go over to your bank after you have pen your name,address and signature,tender it and have it cashed,I t'll be cashed instantly.  Once cashed, deduct your pay as agreed, you will be sending the balance via Moneygram money transfer to my vendor, he's  to handle the remaining parts of the transaction....


 
Go over to the nearest Moneygram Money Transfer location and send to....

yes - this is a scam. do not agree to deposit or cash checks or money orders. Regardless of what you are told - these are always scams.

I thought it was.  That's why I declined to do it.  I actually received the money orders, but I told him I would be unable to accomodiate him and that I would send them to him.  He never responded.  I'm so disappointed.  I thought this would be my first real work-at-home job cry.  I guess I'll just have to keep trying....

Yes, these type things are ALWAYS scams. A friend received a suposed cashier's check and deposited it . The next day her bank account was closed by her bank of 10 years. She went in and they said she had committed fraud on the bank by depositing a "fake " check and that it was being handled by the local DA's office. It took almost three months to get resolved and for her to be able to open another bank account at a different bank. NEVER fall for these.
If they are a legit company they have corporate accounts and can cash their own checks and such.
