It is a scam, and you will be getting a lot more of them by using online sites – a LOT more of them.
It is really usually very easy to spot them, as they almost all have such atrocious grammar and spelling – as this one does.
Then another vital clue is that all legitimate businesses never, ever use an employee to be a “third person” to deposit a check, then send on a payment. That is how they get your money. Of course, they do this after they have all ready gotten your personal information so they can commit identity theft against you.
