I have seen a number of these kind of reports in the last few months and for the life of me I cannot understand how people like you could possibly believe that someone else will pay you thousands of dollars just to cash a check. Did it ever occur to ask "Why?" Even more important, is "Why you?" Are you experienced in international banking or finance? What is there on your resume that would lead a legitimate employer to pay you nearly six thousand dollars to cash a single check? Even if you could not see exactly what the scam was beforehand, the amount of money offered to you should have warned you that this was a criminal enterprise. Maybe you thought you could profit from someone else's criminal activities by laundering their money. I can only imagine how stupid you must have felt when you discovered that the victim of the crime was you yourself!

At worst this is a scam but if it wasn't a scam you could be charged by the Government with money laundering. A very serious, jailable offense.

That anyone would actually fall for such an obvious scam, or that these same people can actually find other people to breed with. Let me get this straight. Joe Blow sends you, a complete stranger, a nice fat check for his buddy Guinea Pete. You are supposed to cash Joe's check and then send the cash to Pete. Why wouldn't Joe just send the money to Pete to begin with? Wait...I think you know why, now. Unbelievable. The only chance you had in this case was either engage your brain, or let the check sit for about a month. After a month, if the check was still in the bank, you could be assured the money was yours. You live in Reno. If you wanted to throw away your money, why not just donate it to a casino? You could always give it to your Sheriff Dept. They could use some help, what with Lt Dangle and the rest being fired and all.
