Of course this is a scam! It would be nice if it were real, but it's not!

We will be updating you as soon as the payment is being sent to you and you will be directed as to where to have the remaining 90% of the money sent to, after the deduction of your 10% pay on any payments received and processed by you.

We saw this on here last week, or something similar to it. The sad thing is that people really do fall victim to this type of sh*t and they can lose everything. Point in case, my sister received something similar to this and she "finally" decided not to cash these money orders. Thank goodness.

Remember never do anything that tells you to process or cash anything at your bank then send someone else the money!

Um yeah, total money laundering scam that can land the person in jail. Never EVER take a "job" where you receive money, cash it at your bank, then send the rest somewhere else. That is ALWAYS, 100% of the time, a complete scam.

And LOL about marital status. What kind of moron "employer" needs that information?

I feel really sorry for the people who fall for this sort of thing. I often wonder how many do? Are we doing such a poor job of educating folks that people really think something like this could possibly be legitimate??

Yes, anytime you are asked questions like age, sex, marital status, etc., it's a scam. Legit employers know it's illegal to ask such questions.
