Company Name is MemoryTen tax id number is 20-1030216 and they want me to cash the money orders and send 1980.00 to a Yvonne Nicholas at 5085 Westheimer Rd Houston Texas 77056 is this real

This sounds like a very typical scam. How did all of this come about? Did you advertise something for sale and they are giving you more than the purchase price and asking you to send the overpayment to someone? Or are they a company from outside the US asking you to cash orders and then keep a portion as payment?

Both of those are famous scams.

Scam, scam, scam

Yes this is a scam. Destroy the check and appeal to it no more.

It has been my experience that any "legitimate business" will not send money to one individual to send to another. These checks almost always cash, but return in a week or so insufficient funds. All the victim (the person cashing the check) is forced to repay the money and in many cases, be prosecuted for fraud. However, the only happy person is the person receiving the cash. You gave it to them legitimately and they do not have to give it back. And if you do the math, that leaves you repaying the entire amount of the check plus, the 1980.00 you sent to Yvonne Nicholas.

Hope this answers your question!

Sadly, anyone with a computer, a printer, and maybe some not very fancy software can print fake checks, money orders, and cashier checks. What's surprising is all the people who don't think of that when it should be intuitive.

Don't let GREED get the better of you.

What kind of money orders are they? From a bank or postoffice? If they were issued as post office then take it to them along with the letter and they can back track it. If its fraud (most likely) then then can press federal charges. Do Not send any money or items unsolicited.

Of course this is a scam and if you do it, when the money orders turn out to be frauds or stolen, then you have to repay the bank or you will be in legal trouble. This is one of the older scams out there.
