I was asked to give my address and they would begin sending me checks, but I didn't submit my address information to them it was on my resume that I had submitted and then two days ago I receive two checks in the mail. I contacted the bank that was listed on the checks. I called yesterday morning to talk to a banker so I could find out if the checks were valid and I was told that they couldn't be checked over the phone I would have to cash them. This is the email I received from them. Hello,

We started your first two transactions.

You will receive, in 2 to 4 days on your mail address (via regular mail), an
envelope with two checks:

CHECK 1
TOTAL $950.00
INVOICE# 2901

CHECK 2
TOTAL $840.00
INVOICE# 2902

You need to cash the check as soon as possible. It is in all our best
interest, because if you clear the payments faster, you will receive more
bonuses and we will be able to get our payments sooner. So please, try to
cash the check on the spot, every day our funds are blocked in the bank
hampers our company growth.

Do not use checks-cashing stores, they charge too much. This process is very
simple, you must cash the checks using your existing bank account, where you
made transactions before, this way we can speed up the process. This is
because of one very important reason: after having a few positive
transactions the account will become "trusted" by the bank system and all
these operations will be considered safe and become routine. You will cash
checks faster in the future and you will make more money.

You need to cash the checks, withdraw the money from your bank account, and
subtract your commission from the total amount (10% + $150 from each check)
and using the remaining money you need to send to us. You do not need to
deposit the funds into your bank account. You need to cash them and take the
money with you and e-mail us when you have the money in hand, for faster
instructions on how to send the payment to us.

If you cannot cash in the same day please deposit the checks into your bank
and check for funds availability daily. You do not need to call or visit
your bank daily; you only need to check if the funds are ready using your
online banking webpage.

After we receive the confirmation that the money are in your possession we
will e-mail you back with clear instructions on how to send our share of the
money to us. This is because we have several locations to cash our funds and
we do not yet know which one will be assigned to you.

So not cash those checks. No legitimate employer would require you to process payments for them or use your own personal bank account.

Take the checks either to your bank's fraud department or you can take them to your local post office and file a report with the postal inspector there.

Also, do not tell the scammer that you got the checks. Stop all communication with him and don't give him any clue why.
