Answer 1

i never did hear of this scam.  if they ask you for a fee to join the group before representing the group, it would be a scam.  If they send you a large check, you know the information is there to report the people, and they can be caught if you cash the check with the authorities.  They can follow their percent of the funds to wherever these are sent, and freeze the accounts of the group at their receiving financial institution

It is supposedly a great job with a lucrative future in the materials industry.

Answer 3

That is a very well known scam. They send you a large check. You cash it and keep a percentage and wire the balance to them. Within a week the check bounces and they are nowhere to be found.

Answer 4

This is a well known scam.  You get the check, send them their cut, then a week or so later the bank comes looking for you for all the money.  The check is fake, the people you talk/write to are fake, and when the check bounces you have no way to track them down.  See the reference on how it works.
