I am appending to this message a copy of the email sent to me offering a part-time position with the payroll processor Paylocity. Since it seems similar to a scam that victimized me earlier this year I looked the company up on the internet and found their website. I called their main office in Arlington Heights, IL, and no one there recognized this person's name.
Herewith follows the text of the email that I received from him earlier this afternoon:
