Hey, guys. I have been recently looking for a job and am wondering if something I had found is a scam or not.
This is the first email I had received from a Craigslist posting.
This looked like a legit email to me. The website for the company looks legit. I think the monthly income of 3000 dollars is too good to be true, but I just don't know. I decided to reply back with the information that was requested.
This is the response I got from that:
Now this is when I get skeptical. I don't want to send them any of that information without knowing if they are legit about this. I am thinking about calling them, but the only time I can here, it would be at night over there (5 hour difference between me and England). I might call the number anyway just to find out. The person who is sending me emails is using a Yahoo email address, but I have known most all scammers that have emailed me have used a Yahoo address.
What do you all think?
Thanks.
