Very common scam

You get an offer from someone on the Internet to cash a check. You then pass a long some of the money and keep the rest of the money for yourself. More than likely this is a scam. The check is fraudulent, or stolen, or just not real.

If you do succeed in cashing the check, and passing on the money, you will be in trouble. You will be held responsible for paying back the money.

This is a scam used in many different money making schemes, or someone buying something from you on the Internet. Do not do it under any circumstances. If you are not sure about a check, go to your bank. Tell them about that, and they can check it out before you actually cash it. If it sounds to good to be true, it just might be.
