*Never accept a job where the owner asks you to cash checks from private parties unless you are their sole accountant and you are sure the company is legitimate. There are a lot of scams out there that need to be stopped. If you do receive a large check then always have the bank check on the legitimacy first before it is deposited because you could be liable for the amount.
If you do run across such a company that is illegal and it is found on this site, please notify us right away so we can forward their information to the authorities. Thank you.
