I received this same email but from a different person, Mark Foreman. I actually received the money orders today. What do I do with them? What if I continue to receive emails from these people?

Either shred them, turn them in to the police, or write FAKE in large letters with permanent ink so that there is no question that you intend to try to pass them.

Then just block and ignore the scammers. If you feel you must, tell them that the bank told you the money orders were fraudulent, and that you won't be doing business with them.
They may send you idiotic threats (some scammers even claim to have contacted or even pretend to be the FBI, telling you that you are going to be arrested for not sending the money.) In reality, the only crime at this point is theirs--following their instructions (cashing the bogus money orders) would make you guilty of a crime.
