Thank you for posting, Cliff. Information explaining this type of scam, known as a check scam or more specifically, a fake representative job scam, can be found on our forum here: Link

The CA identity theft victim in this scam is mentioned here: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2180

The scammer is using the name FOREX TRADING LTD because it sounds funky.

In actual fact it's daft because forex deals are not entered into against settlement by cheque so the company would not need any cheque clearance assistance. All 'spot' deals are entered into for settlement in two working days, which is less than the minimum clearance period for any cheque, apart from ones paid into the bank and branch it's drawn on, in which case clearance isn't needed.

In practice no sane organisation would do forex deals for anyone without a banking facility with them.

The scammer is relying on the victim not knowing any better than him.
