<prompt> Human: I recently applied for a job at a company using ziprecruiter, and was contacted back saying the position had been filled but they had an opening for an at-home personal assistant job, part time, where they will mail me a check for pay every week. Their first task is to go buy all this stuff to send to foster homes, but the kicker is they are going to send me a check for it all, plus my first weeks pay. Ive researched the company as best as I can and it all looks legit, but Im still suspicious.Im NOT going to deposit the check into my own account, Ill cash it if anything, but has anyone heard of a scam like this? Any ideas?---edit: looking back over the emails, it looks like they copypastad info about the company from the previous listing or from the website. They put a disclaimer at the end that makes it look legit- this email is considered private, company property, blah blah blah, but the part I missed was it was from a gmail address, NOT a corporate email address. Signature on the email also only has hiring manager, no company details, etc. I doubt its coincidental, but after investigating the company, the company itself is legit. They called my home number from an area code fitting if they were calling from it. Calling the number back only gets a generic our office hours are message, but no you have reached x company specifically, no company name, etc. This all makes me worry a little more, thats a pretty directed phishing attempt.  <response>: Its fake, Ive seen this scam before
