<prompt> Human: Hello, all, there are a number of questions in this post, some of which may or may not be beyond the scope of this subreddit. I appreciate any tips. I am a student and currently looking for a job. I found an interesting position on Craigslist for a French publishing company. My job would be to receive several orders of books at my apartment and ship them to their US clients through their FedEx account for 500 a week. I have a few questions, though. Is this sort of thing common or make sense From the publishers perspective? I would also recieve checks from customers, out of which I would pull my income out of after a 48 hour clearing period only to then transfer the rest to the publisher. As I said, the whole thing sounds weird. What prevented me from immediately saying no is that they have no critical information of mine and I see no real way for them to scam me in any typical way. How do taxes work, since Id have all this money going through my account? If there is something fishy going on, does it make sense to take the job and be an informant?  <response>: If a job requires you to use your personal bank account to help the business move money, its a scam.
