This was followed up by an on line interview where a request was made for me to deposit a check (prior to working for them) to purchase accounting software, and set up a shipping port to receive equipment. The interview was ostensibly done by a woman named Holly Champion. There were many words misspelled and poor English, grammar and punctuation used. Upon research, there is no phone number to contact anyone, and there is no data from an incorporation of the company. The request was made that I come on line the next day at 8am and would then be put in contact a supervisor. When I did not log on to yahoo messenger I received a text message on my phone "hello are u there?". When I voiced my reticence to continue the response was "i have belived that you don't want to work again" (sic). I responded that I would love to work for a reputable company, their response was "Have a good day since you doubting us". Please be advised to avoid this scam.
