SCAMMER using: [email protected]- :evil:

Red flags include "his" grammar and the last line asking me to buy software. Furthermore, skipped a question on me looking at the website and what companies and accounts I would be working with. This offer was off Upwork.com. GLAD I didn't fall for it. Wouldn't go out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of software for a job....I have the full yahoo conversation "interview" below and have seen a couple other scams of exactly the same commentary. BEWARE!

The interviewer's grammar is specifically West African (though we've seen similar from South Africans). Either he wants you to print fake checks, or he's going to have someone send you a fake check which he wants you to forward the money from to a fake software vendor, who is another character played by him.
