If you've never seen one of these before, this is how they work. You get sent a check, or a bunch of checks. You cash the check(s). You keep 10% and forward the rest on (usually via Western Union) and then at a later date find out the check(s) are fake or stolen and you're liable for the money. It's also worth noting that, a $1000 check that you keep 10% of won't cost you $900 when it's cancelled, but $1900. There's the $900 you sent to the scammer, plus the $1000 the bank will want back off you. Here's a perfect example.
