Worse than the Real Estate Scam

I get emails and I've seen job adds for a "traffic broker" or some nonsense. A company in the UK wants me to process checks sent in by their US reps. I'm to record all transactions and then deposit the checks. At a later date, they will instruct me about forwarding the money to them.
BIGGEST FUCKING SCAM. The checks you process are phoney and they'll want the money at once.
Sad part is many people don't know of this scam and are desperately seeking employment and are easy targets.
When I was looking for work I spotted this on CareerBuilders and they managed to have 5 separate listings in different parts of the metro. I called them up to complain and they took down the ads. Couple weeks later they popped up again.
