I applied for a job as an administrative assistant on craigslist. I was offered the job with no interview, so I asked for the person's credentials and website info. Instead I was mailed 3600 in postal service money orders with instructions on how to mail them to malaysia. i emailed back sating i never had an interview or signed a contract so i am not an employee , but now I don't know what to do. There is no return address and whoever this guy is has mine. I know it was stupid to give out my address, but what can i say, i needed a job. What can i do to make sure I stay safe and get this money back to whoever sent it?

There is a good chance that those money orders are fraudulent, and you should probably turn them over to the police.

If you are concerned about someone having your address, then you should move and change your other contact information.
