Well If it is real, congratuation...

You really dont worry about tax. U can just deposit that chek in ur account and cut taxes in ur SSN. There are hundreds of thousands international student who are working in check. People really do not have time to go after those students.

Or just to be in safe side, consultant idea is right. Pay the taxes in some other name and keep rest of the money in ur account. U should not be in trouble..

Congratulations........

And let me know if that company needs one more consultant....?
