Money Laundering Scams??

ok so I posted an ad on craigslist (that I was looking to work from home) and I got an email that I thought was legit. From Walrus Designs in the United Kingdom. They have a website and everything seems to look fine. They say that they need a “payment processor” what I am to do is cash money orders (from Walmart) and deduct 10% then send the rest overseas. I jumped at the idea because I am in dire need of cash. I received 3 money orders in the amount of $850 today. I am battling with whether this is a scam or not. The company didn’t ask for any personal information, such as bank accounts or routing numbers and I don’t have to go to a bank to cash a money order.. I mean when you get a money order don’t you have to pay the amount the money order is in? IS THIS A SCAM and if so, what should I do with these money orders? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.. I don’t want to get involved in illegal activity. Any info will help.. thanks

this is 100% a scam. Please destroy those money orders!! I have seen so many people fall for the same thing and get stuck. What they want you to do is cash the checks and then send the majority of it to them overseas. Then in a couple of weeks the establishment where you cashed the checks will be looking for you to collect the money you already sent off for those checks and you will be in even more of a financial hardship. Be aware that your name is now “out there” and you will probably receive similar check in the future, possibly including travelers checks. Don’t fall for it
