This Jill Swinson is very very busy. I too received the same email and then realized that I had not applied to this position. Unfortunately when someone offers you the moon and does not want to meet you that to me draws red flags all other the place. I hope no one gives this person any personal information such as social security or paypal. That would not be a good thing.
We have to keep ourselves SAFE out here. Its a shame that honest people looking for work get side-tracked by dishonest people trying to scam.
I live in a small town in Missouri and replied to an ad in the local paper and received the exact same letter with the same phone number to my email. Only the name was Brandon Wilson. I cross matched the address he provided with the county assessors office and found that the address was under the name of Wilson Trust, which validated his story somewhat. But when I searched for the phone number, I came across this post. Thank you so much for the warning!!!
I received the same message after answering an ad in the newspaper.
