3. It's another take on an old scam.

You get fake money orders and send a cut to real criminals.

4. uhh -- I'd say scam

Collecting donations into a bank account and then sending them to people via Western Union? If this was legit you could use wire transfer right from the bank, and leave a paper trail for records.

Is this from Nigeria?

5. It's the latest version of the Nigerian bank deposit scam

They either want to steal your bank info or identity, or stick you with a lot of bad checks. Why would they hire a complete stranger to do such a financially sensitive job?

Total scam. If it sounds to good to be true, run away.
