I responded to a job posting on a legitimate site Indeed.com. The post was for employment in my field. The job offers a work from home position, doing inspection of merchandise from home, receiving the items, inspecting them for damage, taking pictures and shipping them to the address provided. This is a high-tech version of the old "stuffing envelopes" at home scam or another way to do the well known African scam of receiving stolen merchandise. The name Steve Martin is a well known legendary comic from the US who first appeared on television shows like Saturday Night Live! If you receive any emails from this person for employment or other wise, DO NOT respond! They will get access to your personal information. Report this activity to the job board and or law enforcement. The red flags that tipped me off were not only the obvious name "Steve Martin", but also the poor grammar,informal tone of the response from such a professional company and the very low qualifications to perform such a job, considering one must have a at least a Bachelors Degree upwards or extensive years of experience to do what I do, and the job only requires me to ship boxes in and out of my home, no complex skills such as understanding surgical procedures and medical terminology. I have enclosed the email below:
