Fraudulent Job offer: "Ameritrade Finance" ("CareerBuilder Job Application")

The "Ameritrade Finance" job offer is a fraud. Job seekers are recruited to deposit checks which they are mailed and then wire funds to a recipient in another country when the check clears. Most people are not aware that it can take two weeks and more for a fraudulent check to bounce, long after the bank makes funds available from the check. Never agree to accept checks for your employer. There are no legitimate reasons for such an arrangement. It is a clear sign of fraud.
