<prompt> Human: I recently received an email from Workopolis about an employer looking for a Resident Agent Position. What this job is a company would send me a cheque for the amount of around 6500. I would then have to wait about 5 business days for the cheque to clear and send the cheque via Western Union to their company in Russia. I would keep 5 for commission and send the remaining 95 to them. The company produces various mechanical stuff made from titianium, ceramic, tungsten etc. They would receive orders from companies and do an international money transfer which can sometimes take up to 28 days for the bank to clear. They would essentially have me play for the middle man for them. Is this illegal? Has anyone else dealt with something like this?  <response>: Its a scam. The cheque will not clear and you will be out 95...
