Answer by proudamerican
Is the "authentic check" a money order? If so, it is a fake money order. It may look so real as to convince the bank to give you the cash. You then send the cash to the fraudulent and conveniently out of country company. They keep the money. The bank finds out that it was a fake and then you are liable to the bank for the money. Just run those through the shredder, and forget about it. As a general rule in life, if someone promises you something for nothing, it is not real. That goes for every situation, for the rest of your life. There is nobody out there that is just dying to give you something for nothing. It won't happen; don't think that it will.
