I also just got a text from this number and thought there was something fishy about it. I emailed him back but didn't provide any information besides what is on my resume. Let's see what I get for a response from it.
Very interesting, I received 2 text messages from this phone number in response to my resume through Kajiji.ca
I am writing in response to your interest in working as my P.A . You will work from home for only 1 to 2 hour per day and approximately 10 hours in a week , for a basic wage of $300 per week.
You need to go through my introductory message: I am Johnny loe a Successful Entrepreneur, investor and a research journalist .I travel a lot, within and outside Canada,I am a Canadian, born in Calgary,AB in 1968,working on various independent projects, this is why I need a PERSONAL ASSISTANT, to keep up with all of my activities especially when i travel abroad. Also, I have cerebral palsy and require full time assistance with all personal and domestic tasks.
Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level. All correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally. The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have a regular internet access. You are also hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage. Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official packages will be delivered via posts. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my P.A amongst other things will include;
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping meup to date with them as they come up;
* Carrying out specific projects and research;
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring financial activities.
* Processing and taking charge of weekly payments and purchases.
* General clerical activities.
Basic wage is $300 a week. Any extra personal expenses (transport,feeding, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week.This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing,just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them . There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on. This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I am currently in Baltimore,America for a business contract .However, I do have a number of work you can get done, prior to my arrival.

I hope you can be available for me immediately before I arrive, it certainly can act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship.
NB: You should have a Bank Account incase you want to receive payment.

I recieved a similar message from the same number after i posted an add looking for a second job on kijiji.com When I asked to list the requirements he was looking for and explained that i currently work full time he relunctantly just went along with all my job restrictions and kept asking for my full name and address to "send me my cheque" I refused to provide any personal information until we had a formal interview and when i refused and asked him if he intended on seeing my resume or conducting interviews he stopped texting me. I figured it was a lame way to try and scam people when he could not give me any concrete information about the job or his "business".
