klymcbride, thankyou for posting the information. You have done well.
You were wise to be suspicious.
The company is only registered for the 12 months which is a ploy scammers use to good effect.
I'm directing your attention to http://kcbbb.blogspot.com/2011/08/scams ... -2011.html whereby the said company can be viewed in an unsavoury light.

What that means i s that the domain has only existed for 3 weeks, and the domain was only registered for a year--typical of a a fake site supporting a job scam.

The phone number on the registration has too many digits--in other words, it is bogus.

Checking some text off the website: "collaborative approach to everything we do by listening closely to understand what you need to be successful."
shows it is copied from a legitimate website: http://www.pershing.com/assets/brochures/brochures_311733.html

We would need to see the actual info on the "job" to confirm absolutely, but there is a very high probability of a scam.

I would be steering well clear of this. If you have not done so, please stop all communications with the individual.
