I get several phone calls today from a person supposedly from computer world inc stating they have a position for me that I should sign on to Yahoo Messenger so I can communicate with the interviewer and they will tell me about the position. They sent me this information in a text message after seeing my resume on simplyhired.com.
I responded to the text message since my Texts are free saying that I wanted somebody to call me but I would not communicate through Yahoo IM. They offered me a file clerk position I told them I wouldn't work for less than 70,000 a year. so they told me that would be administrative assistant position that would earn that kind of a salary. they told me that I could work from home until they have the new office set up. Being quite suspicious I asked them if I would need to provide any money. they said yes just for the office supplies. To me this sounds like a scam

Update: I finally received an email back from them this must be a SCAM! see the email below.
