I found a job listing as a person assistant on craigslist.com and I too was forwarded information to find out how much some computers/printers would cost. I figured I would take that step just to see cause everyone always tells you, if it sounds too good to be true, then it isn't. I received another email back and it gave me the 415 # as a James Phillips who Mr. Lao claims to be his attorney. I thought I would do some further research before calling this number and found this blog. So this is a scam, do your research and BEWARE!!!!
yup. applied for a job on craigslist. the employer is Howard Adams, but he wanted me to call his attorney Gary Davies. got this email:
