Re: is it legal
It is a scam! They will send you the checks, you will cash them, only to find out that they are forgeries and you will be liable for the full amount of the forged check. Report it to your local law enforcement. See this link: http://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radDocs/consumer/moalert.htm
