1. I would go slow with this one

and if there is any money to be "fronted" forget it

3. I think this is the money order scam -

You cash the money order at your bank, take your cut and send the remainder on the them only the MO is a fake and you are stuck with making up the money.

4. first glance - scam

google - scams hotjobs and read up on ebay scams,

basics , wait 3 weeks for all certified checks to clear, never wire money before the 3 weeks are up. wait a month or 2 for international checks to clear,

if forwarding merchandise give a call to the sender 3 days after receiving it and see if they still feel the same about their shipment

5. if its too good to be true?

Sounds to me that people send thier goods to your home address, might be a credit card scam you might end up handling stolen goods
