Legal Question in Business Law in Iowa

Re: Money transfers

The money orders are probably fake. He is probably asking you to cash them and send him a portion of the proceeds. Once the bank discovers they are fake, you are liable for the full amount. This is a common scam. Take the money orders to the police.

Re: Money transfers

If it involves you sending him money for any reason whatsoever, you are going to be scammed. If he is asking you to distribute money orders for him, then I would guess there is some reason he does not want to deliver them himself. And I would guess that the reason is that there is something illegal and/or fraudulent involved. You have to ask yourself, why would someone send me money orders to send to someone else, when it would be just as easy for him to send those money orders directly to the people who are going to receive them?
