Legal Question in Tax Law in Arizona

online employment

I have been offered a job as an online secretary in which I would be recieving payment from buyers in my e-mail or ups and have them cashed then in turn i would send payment to the vendors or suppliers, or directly to the company and my pay would be 8% of the amount sent to me. Can you tell me if this would be legal also the site of employment is www.ecplaza.net. This person links suppliers to buyers. and is traveling alot doing seminars and bebinars and needs help with this linking of supplier/buyer. I have been doing Bookkeeping for over 10 years and am very trust worthy and would like to think that is why i was choosen for the position , but am not willing to jepardize my career because of a stupid mistake. Please help me with this matter and shed some light on this.

Sincerely,

Re: online employment

Why would you believe that being offered a salary based on a percentage of sales was a problem? It appears to be more of a salary agreement that would exist with sales minded individuals rather than as a secretary.

One issue you may need to keep track of is, which state did the order come through since that state may claim you have an income tax as to that State's orders.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM! Usually, the scammer has "cerified" funds on a non-US bank that turns out to be a fraudulent account and you are left with a bad check. Be very cautious!

I hope this helps!
