It basically involves me receiving payment from customers, then forwarding the money less 10%, which is my payment for the processing the transaction. Thanks for the heads up about the fraudulent email address. I didn't respond because it sounded like a scam. Hi Paul,

I reported my scam artist to the FTC and BBB. I do want a job at home, however I am nervous about trying out the top 10 places to work at home. That is obviously how my scammer found me. I thought they were with you. They led me to believe this. I have a chemistry degree with a minor in biology. Right now I have some debt that my unemployment is not enough. I would like to have a good job and I am not looking to get rich. I know that you are legitimate. I hate that this has happened to others. I reported my scam artist to the FTC and BBB.
