I have been contacted about a job in which I have to receive checks and electronically transfer them to a company. Is this a scam?
It probably is. The job would require you to be acting as a bank by collecting checks, with no guarantee that they're good. If one of the checks bounces and you've already electronically transferred the funds, you'll be responsible.
