I have been 'Hired" by Nissan Motor as a Key Account specialist. My first assignment is to cash two checks that I have received, which were written by a customer, who has already received the engines. The two checks total $2500. I am to cash the checks, get the money, take out my bonus and any other related expenses and deposit into a Bitcoin ATM. Then make copy of receipt and electronically send to my "manager" I contacted a lawyer, told to talk to Dept of Labor, DOL said they will not get involved that this is between my and my employer. Advise?

Yes, it’s a scam. There are red flags all over it. Ask yourself whether you really think a huge multinational like Nissan would work in this way.

Absolutely a scam 100% chance. This is one of the most common scams out there.
Here's how you will get ripped off.
- They send you a check which will deposit in your account
- Seeing the deposit went through everything looks peachy so you buy and transmit bitcoins.
- The check bounces in a few weeks and you are out the money or owe the bank if that gives you a negative balance.
- The person you sent the bitcoin to is long gone and you have no way to reverse or dispute the transfer.
- If by some miracle they actually let you keep some of the money (the check is real), congrats you just committed a felony and have set yourself as the only accomplice the FBI is likely to be able to track down and arrest.
To avoid scams in the future always ask yourself one question. Why would a company pay someone, a complete stranger, to do virtually no work? If you can't understand their angle then there is no way it is legit. Don't let greed cloud your vision.
The added fact that they want you to send the money via an anonymous and irrevocable mechanism SCREAMS scam. No legitimate business is going to use bitcoin for transferring money for any number of reasons.
