(1) Its the wrong place to post this comment. (2) who is offering you this job? (3) Aw, they are sending you a check? No one knows who your dealing with but we know many people have been scammed by fake checks... they were told to wire out cash using western union. The great thing about western union is anybody can take the cash and you can't trace them.
Some banks will cash the "fake check" for you. And after some time when the check bounced, they will ask you to return the cash. So if you wire out the cash, then you are screwed.
