Just registered so I could pass on this email I got after applying to an Administrative Assistant position on Craigslist. Seems like the same scammer.

And a warning to the guy who said he received a check from these people:

A husband of a friend responded to one of these ads, cashed a check he received, and then the bank took back the money and charged him fees since the check was bad. In addition to that, the people who sent the check had his bank account and routing number (If I remember correctly, the first check they sent was only half of the money he thought he was getting, so they told him to send his routing and account number and they would fix their mistake by direct depositing the rest) so they were able to take money out as well.

The email came from 'Mike Jones'. The email address is [email protected].
