I did the research on the company and it does exist the person also exists and is a person who does work for the company. However the language in the e-mail he sent has sent up a red flag for me. I have been scammed before, and I am very wary of anyone who can't interview me yet, but wants me to start work and pay me. Here is the e-mail he sent. Is this real? I really need a job, but the last scam I was involved in left me in an extreme amount of debt I just got myself out of and I can't do it again.
Thank you!
