<prompt> Human: Hello everyone! Ive got a bit of an issue today. Just for future clarification i am a U.S. citizen and live in California.Around Friday I applied to be an executive assistant as Im a good clerk, and Saturday the woman contacted me with a standard yet impersonal email asking me to fill out this form online. On the form it was a very basic introduction to what this job would be and I filled it out. Sunday today I got an email at 10 asking interview questions and I noticed on her signature that she gives me a 701 number and asks only for texts, no calls, if I need to reach her. She has multiple links on her signature none of which I have clicked out of my own fear. Later today I got an email congratulating me saying welcome aboard.. yet it was very off putting. The text was not the same font, or text size. So I kinda laughed and handed it off to my boyfriend asking if this looked legit. They welcomed me aboard this guys executive assistant I know he is real as if seen the reviews on his shop and then the email continued saying Once the items are delivered, you will need to contact the companys IT support department to assist with setup and installation. Can you let me know if you plan to be away in the next few days to help us plan for the check delivery?I need the acknowledgement letter; below is contract agreement and you can sign and send back to me, by fax or by attaching it to my e-mail. See Attached. Once i receive the Signed Contract, Redacted will call you You will be receiving a sign-up bonus, which is offered to all new starters. You will purchase the equipment from a vendors within your area. The Payment for the equipment will be mailed out tomorrow via USPS. Ive seen that there are many scams out there involving a check and I dont even want to take another step until I know this is legit. Edit:: its been up for maybe 10 minutes and I already got everything I needed! Ive put this person in my blocked list so as to not habe my week bothered by them. Thank you so much yo everyone answering quickly and helping me out.  <response>: Yes, its a scam.
