When people start talking about money orders and being overseas then you know it's a scam! I just hope everyone does what I did, googles the name, to check out this fraudulent person!
Thank you! |

I also received this exact same email after replying about a personal assistant position. I, too, was curious about the nature of the typing in the email and the willingness to send money quickly to me, a random person, as well as the fact that the person was no longer in the states. Thank you for posting this, I deleted it asap!
