I wish it was, then you would not be cheated out of your money.

It is a scam, a very old scam that I would have thought everyone in the world would be aware of my now, it has been shown on TV news, it is warned about on the interent.

First how did they contact you, email right ? And why would they contact you, are you in the money business, are you bonded, insured, do you have a business license, listed in the yellow pages.

No, they are contacting 1000's of people every day looking for some fool to do this.

This is what happens, you receive checks,normally from out side the US and some that are just frauded checks, so it is not until they are deposited and the account they were written on finds they are fruad or fake, the money is taken back out of your account, by this time, you have sent the money by western union ( and by western union so they can get the money in some island or in africa or anywhere in the world.

So then the bank demands you pay them back and they will be nice enough not to press criminal charges if you pay it all back within a month.

Now guess, why would they want you to do it? Really, how much are they offering ? About 10 percent or so, and why would they do that if they can go to a regular billing company and let them collect for about 2 or 3 percent.

But even so why would they let anyone collect checks can be deposited anywhere in the world, I often send checks or money orders to afrcia for our churches there, they just deposit them like any bank.

So you should wish it was mouney luandering
