I've been seeing and receiving offers for at home work\ personal assistant jobs. My problem is should I take an offer serious if simple mistakes are in the wording. Ex....i instead of I throughout the entire letter.

Hello Again,   Thanks for your reply. There will be no problem working with us. My family and I would be moving into town on the 23rd of January, but the dogs will be arriving earlier by the 20th. However, for the first few weeks, what we require from you is light housekeeping & preparation for our arrival. So when will it be convenient for you to start?   My husband will instruct his financial clerk to make out a check to you before our arrival. You’ll receive a Cashier's check from which you will deduct your upfront payment for the first week and the remaining funds will be used to buy the Dog foods, shampoo and other things needed for the dogs and house equipment. We’re willing to pay $300 weekly.   The real estate agent will be instructed to release the keys of our apartment and address to you via mail or pick up, whichever one is convenient for you. This will enable you to do all the necessary preparation before the arrival of our Dogs. We need you to help us get the shopping and preparation done before they arrive so that you wont have to start running around when they arrive. We’ll reimburse your cost of transportation.   Please forward the following information to me to send to the financial Clerk   Full Name: Full address with zip code & Apt Number: Phone number:   All I need from you is total honesty and sincerity. I know you will be committed to the works that are required from you. You will also have a nice time working with us.   Regards,  Christine Tillema

Is this gentleman truly a business development manager for Westerners International. Got an Email stating that I am hired and he is sending me a check

I am not sure if I should trust this email and possible job lead. I had applied about two weeks ago (possibly longer) for a job that seem legit and is with a nationally known company. But I received an email today stating that I had been selected for an online interview. It is then requested of me to set up a screen name with Gmail and then hangout. I am given an verification code and who to message for an interview time. I have never seen this before and my instinct says that this is odd, especially for such a well known company. Anyone have any words of advice? Thanks!

I was offered a pet-sitting job by email. The man I corresponded with said he was going to pay me for a week I never worked. He said it was his way of showing me that he was for real. I really don't know what to think of this. Has any one had anything like this happen to them?Just wondering if it's too good to be true.

I recently graduated from college and am looking for a job. I received a text from Daniel Hitch claiming to represent ADECCO , offering me a network management job, (One I had applied for a week earlier) for $45 an hour working from home. Where things went south is when he sent me a check to pay for software I was to use in my job and wanted me to deposit the check into my account and then pay for the software up front by making a wire transfer using $4900.00 of my own money. Of course, the check would not post, and I would have been scammed badly. Businesses should use PO's (Purchase Orders) , not wire transfers!

Now i been on three inteviews last year and this year i received two emails from jobs I apply for on Zip Recruiters. One ask me to download an app for hangout to do a video interview while the other one is telling me to look at two videos that they sent me then call the number. Now i already done heard the scams that Zip recruiters do have on their website and i'm the type of person where i would rather go in to an environment for the interview instead of doing it via video & call. Am I wrong? Are they legit, is it strange that i have to call them since in the last times i had an interview the person always call me & we setup a interview?

How to know if the company who's hiring you is legit?

Had a guy offer to send me my first weeks pay and money for the first deliveries to a yet to open warehouse for Deans Electrical. Claimed he was in Canada the first contact then in China on the second email. Claimed his name Robert Tomkowiak. Told him I didn't know why a company would not have.billing setup with the delivery company or that any legitimate business would pay someone in advance.
