Legal Question in Business Law in Indiana
I have a foreign company that seems legit contacting me wanting me to accept payments for there electronics company in the United States. By me taking in these payments then sending a money gram to them it eliminates some sort of currency exchange charge or tax on the money since they are operated outside the country. I in turn get to keep 7.5% commission and thats it. My question is, is this eligal and should I do this or not?
Would or could I get in trouble for accepting these payments and forwarding on the remaining balance minus my commission? I have written documentation of me not wanting anything to do with illegal operations and them responding saying everything is 100% legal.

These are usually scams. Do they want access to personal information about you or your company? Have you ever even heard of them before? Have you done due diligence online. Does this service have anything to do with what you do for a living or were you just randomly selected? Is there an agreement in writing? You might want to plug in a search for laundering and internet.
