Mr. Morgan
I am awaiting clarification of the fact that this is real..not a fraud or
money laundering.
I have not spoke to anyone about making a transaction. Because I don't want
to get involved if this is not real..
Thank tyou
I will keep you posted.

This is the Representative scam. They will send you fake checks supposably from "clients", and instruct you to keep 10% for your commission and send them 90% via Western Union or Money Gram.
By the time the check comes back to the bank as forged, they will have disappeared with the money and you will be left responsible to refund the bank, and face possible fraud charges for depositing a forged check.

And for good measure, I'm going to point this out. Even if, for the sake of argument, you were to receive such a job offer from a real, live, legitimate company, that asked you to do this very same thing (receive payments, take 10% and forward the rest to them), you would be guilty of money laundering. This is textbook money laundering. Even if Kraft Foods, Microsoft, General Motors, Kroger, or any other well-established and very real corporation or business were making the offer, it would still be breaking the law.

In fact, the proposed "job" in this scam is perfectly described by the first item under "Examples" on the Wikipedia page about money laundering.

These are very comon now and even come from legit job search sites. At least they appear to. I had some come in saying it was a response to my resume on Monster.com. Monster does not have these companies registered with them. I recieved three in one day that had the same wording with different name and company. The fax and telephone numbers were the same though. Delete these immediately.
