It's money laundering and 419 fraud. You will get sent a sum of money. Thinking it is in your bank you will keep 10% as asked and also the WU fees, and send the rest on to another "trainee" who is the scammer. Then you will discover the money payment was from a compromised/phished account and the bank will reverse it and blame you. You will have to repay what you sent to the scammer, and may lose your banking. You may also end up explaining it all to a policeman who may not be sympathetic- depending on if he has made his target of arrests etc .

If you have received checks, do NOT cash them.

Contact the fraud department of your bank and let them know what has happened. Make sure they know that you now know that any related transfers will be fraudulent. Be prepared to show them the email correspondence regarding this "job." The sooner you do this, the better, so that they understand you were not a knowing party to a crime, and the more willing they will be to work with you.

-If you receive transfers to your account, do NOT withdraw them. Let the fraud folks determine the course of action.
-If you received a transfer and withdrew the money but haven't sent it, DON'T. Put the money back in the bank. Filing a police report is not a bad idea--the scammers may try to threaten you with the police, but they are the criminals, and by returning the money and contacting the police, you are making it clear you are NOT.
-If you have withdrawn and sent money, you need to realize that you are going to be in a bit of a mess. In most situations (there are exceptions, but you certainly can't count on them) when the real account owner discovers the money has been taken, he/she will contact their bank, and the transaction will be reversed. The bank will take back the entire amount of the transfer. If that makes you overdrawn, you can face numerous charges for bounced checks, not only from the bank but also from anyone who received those checks. You will be held responsible for the return of the money and any additional fees (another good reason for contacting the fraud department, as they may be willing to work with you to reduce the fees if you have a good relationship with the bank.) The bank may even contact the police and report you for fraud.

In all situations, the bank may charge you some kind of fees for the fraudulent transfer, or for the reversal, etc. but it entirely depends on the bank.

One last point to add to Dotti's excellent advice is that, if you have divulged your internet banking password to the scammers you MUST inform your bank and ask them to freeze your account and transfer funds to a new one.

I know this will all come as a shock to you, but the quicker you take steps to notify your bank the better, even if it could cause you problems. Doing nothing will be much more of a problem.
