After the 2nd email, came another one of what my first task would be, and sure enough it was a scam. They sent me a check for me to cash, and keep $100 Bonus for myself, then I was to purchase 2 accouting softwares. With the remaning of the cash, I was to wire it to and address in georgia, so that with this money the person can send me the equipment that I needed to start working. I followed instructions, ans what happened this check was returned for NSF, and when now doing research which is too late I discovered that the exsact same thing has happened to others with this company named being used. This company does exsist, however they are not the ones sending out these email to hire people, atleast this is what was reported on this web from the actual company itself.
