The company is very unlikely to pull my 1040, and if I'm fired after a year or two, at least I'd have had an interesting trip. And as long as I pay, the emPloyer may have trouble, but I won't.

That’s okay with me, if you want to do that. I try to avoid conflict with the IRS and playing into this kind of scam does not serve that end.
That said, I’m sure it could be worked out on paper so that there is no scam overtly or by implication, but for reasons unknown to us, that is not the offer the person has been given.
