I got an e-mail from someone named Scott about a virtual assistant position where the pay is $2700 a month. I've been applying to a lot of jobs lately and there is actually a legitimate virtual assistant company in the city I live in so I decided to look into it a little more. However, the website, while functional, isn't legitimate, and there is no record of the company on anywhere else on the web. I finally found other complaints here which detailed the kind of scam they'll pulling. They haven't asked me for any information that I thought was dangerous yet, so I wasn't sure what the scam was until I found this website. They're a typical "we send funds to your account for clients and you transfer the money to them" but there's no actual money transferred to your account and you lose money.
Be aware, job seekers!
