Is it illegal to cash checks for a company in your personal bank account for commission?



I have received a job offer from a company that sells products overseas that entails depositing personal checks and/or money orders into my bank account, subtracting a percentage as my commission, and wiring the rest back to them. As attractive an offer as it is (money-wise) I'm concerned that it constitutes some form of scam. Is this legal?

This is a very common fraud/scam run from overseas.

What will happen:

After you have sent them the money, the deposit will be reversed via a variety of procedures and you will then have a negative balance that you are legally responsible for. You could end up being arrested on a Federal Banking Fraud charge. Source(s): http://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/intern...
its probrably a scam i heard about this sort of thing on tv and usually the checks are fake
Sounds like Money Laundering....Might call the Bank and ask them...just don't tell them who you are..
This is a scam - this is similiar to the email scams going around stating if you hold their money won in a lottery or from family being transferred from Africa via wire to your account they will give you a percentage. It is a way for them to gain access to your account and get money from you. BE AWARE!
Its a scam...they use fake checks and if you try to deposit them into your bank uh it wont go well
