Yes, the checks are no good. No check "clears" in a matter of hours. Especially if it is drawn on a out of the area bank. The money is available to you the next day, but if the check fails to clear, you are responsible for the money and the fees.
Received text messages at 5am in response to a resume I have posted. He said it's a "cashier" from home job. I would receive payments from their "customers" then forward them to an "account executive". He said he has a business bank account set up for this job, but its " processing", so in the meantime, why don't I use MY ACCOUNT as the checks clear "in just a few hours"! I asked him what company this was for and where they're located and he answered "PNash art & craft gallery, San Antonio Texas". Of course, I Googled it both with and without the location and found no such business. Obviously a check cashing scam. They're basically looking for a mule to accept all their stolen checks and deposit them in order to get " clean" money to wire them. A family friend lost 3k this way last year.
