100% SCAM. >>>>Receive checks and money orders <<<< The entire "job" is just a front for a typical fake check scam. The checks would be fake. They would bounce after you have sent the money to your "employer" leaving you on the hook for the checks and possibly even facing criminal charges.

Google Money Mule Scam or Money Laundering scam DO NOT send this person your full name, home address or any other personal information. You could go to prison for this Instead forward that email to the FBIs IC3 division http://www.ic3.gov/ and cut off all communication with this person NO legitimate employer will EVER ask a complete stranger they have never met to handle any sort of financial information or use their personal bank account, or ask them to use Western Union for any reason. These scams are all over Craigslist
