<prompt> Human: First, Id like to apologize if this is the wrong sub. Please direct me to the right place if it is. Okay, so I applied to this job ad online a few days ago for an office admin job. Basically it said I would be running errands, scheduling appointments, pretty much Id be an assistant. Well, my resume didnt show too much experience other than that I used to be a brand manager for my own company about a year ago and that I was good with Microsoft Office.Anyway, I get an email a couple days later from human resources saying I have been shortlisted as a possible candidate. They asked for basic details like phone number, address, and my full name. Never gave them my ssn nor did they ask. The next day, I get an email from the boss saying I have secured the position. Id like to add this was before any interview, formal or phone, havent even met the guy. He says he is out of town, the company is based in Warsaw Poland, and they were expanding to an office to my city, where he would be relocating in 2 weeks. So I wont be meeting this guy for at least another week. So he asks me to confirm that my mailing address is correct so he can send me my first paycheck which is 700 a week and says he will send me a list of my first assignments. He also said HR will be in touch for me to sign an Employment Agreement. He also attached a photo of himself to put a face to a name. The photo looked a little like a stock image in that it was just a super cliche business picture. I did a quick reverse image search and the only result that came up was for the companys website which is entirely in Polish so I cant read a thing saying what I make out to say director of operations Dyrektor Operacyjny. Okay, still somewhat legit, right?This morning, I get the email from HR of the Employment Agreement. Its very basic, one page, basically outline my job duties which confirms personal assistant and shows that I am to be paid 700 weekly plus bonuses, comissions, gas, and all that other good stuff that might apply. Just asking me to sign my name, still no ssn or other personal information I havent already given. They want me to fill it out and fax it back or scan it and email it back to them.Then an hour later, boss man emails me with a list of assignments to complete. Very basic, non-sketchy stuff, like quoting prices for laptops, printers, etc for the new office. He wants locations of available warehouses nearby and prices and stuff not sure if any of this would be violating my terms of employment, but I havent signed anything yet.Heres where it gets weird. At the end of the email, he says he has already sent me my first paycheck, emailed me the tracking number and sure enough, its on the ground in my city for delivery today under priority shipping. He wants it deposited today and to let him know when funds are available.So, do I run any risk by depositing a check? He cant possibly gain my bank info from that can he? What about texting him, which he wants me to do to confirm? Can he do anything with that? Its just a regular phone number, CA area code.I just dont want to end up getting scammed, even though it seems pretty legit. I guess Im most concerned because A every info I can find is in Polish, I cant read it and B hes already sent me money before Ive done anything, let alone spoke to the guy.EDIT: Jesus, Im so sorry for the long post.EDIT 2: Im now aware this is a common scam. I received a check for 3,450. Id like to mess with this guy a little bit. Give me ideas.  <response>: Yeah its a total scam, and a very common one. In fact, we see a thread about it probably a couple of times a month on here. It is NOT legit. Dont go any further, do not deposit any checks.
