I was propositioned by memoney exchange and I can't find much info on it. I was told I would get paid salary plus commission off every payment I process. Has anyone heard of this company and knows if its legit?

What payments are you supposed to be processing? And how are you supposed to process them? Sounds like a common scam.

Reply: the payment came from New York but I'm supposed to send it to a contact in russia by Western Union. All I do is take the check the a bank ( the one the check holder uses) OR a check cashing place. If I take the check to the bank it holds and see if its legit first is that the safer way?

This is a scam, you will find the check bounces and you are left holding the bag.

Thanks for the input. Could you think why they would ask for a copy of your id/driver license. Could they use this?

Sure, haven't you ever heard of identity theft?

DO NOT DO THIS!!
I work for a major bank as a "0" hour employee and this is a SCAM!!
We see this scam all the time.
You will probably cash this check against your account. The check will bounce and you will be out of the money.
I REPEAT... DO NOT DO THIS!!

Yeah, read around on the boards, a lot of people get trapped in this scam cause it sounds like easy money. You will receive this check from New York and they will push you to pay 90% to someone in another country the same day, a few weeks later the check from New York will bounce and your account will be in the negative.
