<prompt> Human: So a couple of days ago I saw a position for an Office Assistant on Craigslist and needing some money for the summer i applied for it. I received an e-mail back which basically outlined what i would be doing and listed some qualifications that were necessary and asked for me to confirm the contact information on the resume i had originally sent. I replied back with the information but only gave my phone number and e-mail They were already on the resume. Then i received another e-mail 2 days later saying that they were offering me the job and i just needed to accept it. Here is the link with the two emails i received. A couple of things make me wary about this offer. First the amount of pay offered seems to be a bit much for the type of job i would have to do. Then there are lots of grammar mistakes in the e-mails which i wouldnt expect when replying to a job application although english may not be their first language i guess.... Also, i am not sure if the method of payment that he is proposing is valid Receiving a Company Certified Check, depositing it into my account, keeping 700 and using the rest for doing the job. I also looked up the name of the company and there actually are bakeries around where i live Philadelphia with that name although it is slightly different.Can any of you help me decide whether this is a scam or not? I havent replied to the last e-mail yet and this morning i received a text message from the same guy asking whether i had received the e-mail and if i was still interested in the job. I would appreciate any insight. Thank you.  <response>: Its a scam. The money wont clear and they will get you to give them actual money back before you realize the check was bad. This is a variant of the mystery shopper scam.
