[quote=“92slowcivic,post:5,topic:30399"”]

so where do they scam you?

Wire and western union “transfers” require you to pay cash for the amount you want sent, you can’t just hand them a check and say “here’s a check for $5,000, and I want this amount wired somewhere”.

You have to give them cash, which means at some point, you have to cash those “checks” then bring the $ to get wired or W.U. By the time the bank notifies you that you gave them a fake check, your “employers” have your $ and the banks want’s you to pay up.
