Below is the following email I received after signing up with Abbott Staffing Agency when it listed part time position for placing ads in newspapers. It sounded too good to be true, but Abbott Staffing Agency seemed legit. With desperation for money, I gave the information below. Now I'm left to wonder if they'll send me that check, and if they do, what to do with it? I would appreciate some information if any one else has gone through this. Thanks!

You will place 2 job ads after you receive first payment in Washington Post and Newsday newspapers. You will call an 1-800 number to do this task. You will receive instructions and complete "how to" specifications, also the text that will appear in the ads, it will take like 5 minutes to do it. Simply let us know when you will receive the cashier's check next week. Your commission is $200 from this order. You must place the order in max. 48 hours after you receive the money. Of course, we will instruct you 100%. You may also receive few orders from various US companies that we work with to place ads in Canada and Europe newspapers.
Very Important:
Do not cash certified checks at check cashing stores, they have huge fees and we don't support them.
Do not abandon your email addresses we have on file from you! Check your email every evening, check also BULK/SPAM folders, our updates may go there sometimes.
Do not play with our time and our money, do not apply if you are not able to perform the simple tasks!
If you abandon this job without completing task our US lawyers will call you. Position is very simple, lets keep it that way.
