They said any company that sends you a large check like that and asks you to cash it and send it on is a scam.
Lady that they interviewed got scammed out of about $4000.00

Be it Ebay, newspaper ads, etc., ANY time someone sends you a check or offers to send/give you a check & then wants you to cash it & send some to them/keep some for yourself, it's a scam. The thing is, these scammers are usually in other countries so it's next to impossible to nail them from here, so the bank you cashed that check at will likely come after YOU to recoup that money. :(
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
