I received an email as a RE: Inventory Data Entry Clerk. Since I had applied to dozens of jobs on craigslist in the preceeding days I took this to be a reply to one of my applications.
The email asked that I yahoo messanger for an online interview. I was skeptical but I started the "chat interview" figuring maybe they wanted to see how accurate I am with my spelling, etc. The whole time I was waiting for them to ask me to send them money, but it turns out they will be sending me computer equipment and a money order for $1950! LOL!!!
The person on the other end said I was supposed to use the money to pay the shipper, which is obviously a scam. I wrote back that as soon as the money order cleared I would disburse whatever payments.
I printed the chat history just to have a record of the whole thing. This person is obviously a foreigner as their grammer is way off.
The sad thing is I was so excited when I finally saw someone had replied to one of my job applications. Oh well such is life.
Hmmm, maybe I'll use that money order to go to the casino...
