I got the same type of email. Firstly I was thinking whether it is a scam, but I google the company and didn't find any related scamming information. But now I realize that they are changing the company name and yahoo message user name from time to time. But actually they might be the same person.
Always using yahoo message for contacting.
Always interviewing you via charting, not face-to-face talking or even telephone.
Always ask about the equipment, and say will send you a check to buy the equipment.
Always pay via check.
Always let you think it is a great job to get money.
Today is my second day for the so-called training, and the task is to write an essay about The Best Ways to Prevent Overdue Accounts using my own words. As I am not accounting major, I google this question and find the scamming page. I am glad I am not wasting time of getting up early any more.
Here is the email I receive.
