Please read the job desciption below: job will require you receive payments on behalf of SpiderSEO from clients and customers with outstanding payment from services rendered. These payments will come in the form of Money Orders which you will be required to cash at the bank or a cashing point after which you’ll send these funds to the company via western union or Money Gram.

You know, just going by my experience, this sounds like some sort of scam. This was probably--and I'm postulating here--an unsolicited job offer. That means that you did not go into a newspaper or to a website like Monster.com and find this listed. I'd do my research and I'd steer clear of anything that doesn't sit well in your gut. And because you've asked this question, I can tell that it doesn't sit well with you. Follow your instincts. If it sounds to good to be true, it's probably a scam.
