Here’s a new one!
My daughter is looking for a job and got a call to be this guys personal assistant. Her start pay is $600 a week. The guys sent a check for $6000 and told her to deposit it in her account and then to go buy toys with the remaning 5400. I smelled scam immeaditly. I told her not to deposit the check and we turned it over to the postal inspector.

Interesting.

Was she ever interviewed by an agency for this type of job?

Wonder what exactly what the scam was/how it worked?

The cashier’s check plus something extra for your trouble is a well known Craigslist scam often tried on sellers.
