<prompt> Human: I applied for a job and the guy said the job was filled but I can be his personal assistant since his last assistant got sick.Ive seen other scams on Craigslist similar to this but he seems pretty legit. According to him, Ill be managing his finances, traveling, and other scheduling tasks for a stipend of 750 a week plus any expenses covered.So he has not been pushy with the costs so far. And he has just given me a first task of finding how much buying several monitors game consoles will cost. He says he has sent a check by Fedex Priority to me around 3000, 250 which I can use for my first week and the rest that I will use for his expenses. Are there any risks right now that I have to be cautious of? As far as I know he hasnt asked me to transfer any money into his account. So I just want to make sure in case my intuition is wrong that this guy is legit. Any advice?edit:By the way - thanks for all the advice guys. I think at this point I can pretty much give up on finding any job on Craigslist that sounds any good at all :P The check that he sent me was so obviously fake and when I asked him to verify himself he just went quiet.  <response>: Scam. Scam. SCAM.Request that he pay by wire transfer and not check.Hell come up with an excuse.The fact that hes trying to use a check is a sure sign its a scam.
