Yes, It's a scam! Stay away from it! It will involve Postal Money orders most probably that are counterfeit. I dealt with these on several occasions during my career with the Post Office. Their stories were very similar to the one above.

OMG! That doesn't even sound close to being legit! Our local TV station always has a consumer protection portion and says to be very, very careful of work at home schemes. Please investigate!! If it seems to good to be true - it generally is!

Sentence construction and grammar are very, very good. But not good enough. Whoever constructed this did a good jub, but English is not their first language. For example "ATTESTATION" is not a term routinely found in business in America these days. It is correct as far as grammar is concerned, but not common usage. This is very likely a scam being run from outside the country. These days many are run from Eastern European countries. I wish it were not so but there just aren't any shortcuts to earning a living these days. Especially not like this. So sorry. Good luck to you daughter.

This is just another money laundering scheme. There are so many out there and, yes, it is against the law and all of the frisk is on you. I help prove these out in our area, MD.working with the police and Chamber of Commece. I pose as an interested party to get the connections set and then they take over. They spring as fast as they can be taken down.

That whole thing is a total scam though.

SCAM!!! There is a lawsuit here in Kentucky where an attorney did this for a company and the checks bounced - he had already transferred the funds so his bank account was overdrawn. He's actually trying to say it was the bank's fault for not stopping him. Nothing good can come from a "system" like this except whoever is on the end accepting funds from your daughter. Think about it - why can't they receive their own funds directly? Why do they need someone to deposit them and send them? I purchase from China, etc. on ebay all the time and they never have any trouble taking my money. If it's too good to be true......
