Via www.craigslist.com I replied a post looking to hire a "Receptionist/Admin Assitant". I sent my resume' to the craigslist email assigned to the business for corrospondance. A day or so later I recieved an email back from [email protected] (my first clue that this position was illegitimate) after reading the rather long response I gathered that this could very well be legit. I was wrong; another user of usacomplaints.com posted the exact same email I recieved from Dr. Stacey Bernstein and concluded my suspition. All of you employment seekers be sure to steer clear of this trick! I'm not sure what's in it for these people, but they are giving false hope to innocent people and should be stopped! I hope this helped!
Here's the e-mail I recieved from the Doctor:

I'm sure you'll understand I run a very busy schedule at this point, as I am presently in Canada, I will be back in Three Weeks. I think you're the right person for this position, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time work from home and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week.
If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extras while you do something else on the side.
As I have said, I'd want us to get a head START with things as soon as possible. I do have lots of works piled up presently and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine.
I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship. I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer we contact each other through E-mails, and SMS Messages but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that. I will be glad to know if you are willing to work with me and I promise to be a good boss. I will also be highly delighted on the level of commitment you place in work. I have been checking my files lately and what I would want you to do for me this week are to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home, which comes in every month.
