He didn't catch me, I've been using craigslist for awhile, in-fact I run most of my business advertising through there. I get emails from guys like this all the time, this time I googled him and his name came up under another email, so I thought I should list this one too. just doing my part to keep these creeps from stealing. I figure if they cant earn a living they'll turn to real crime and get caught or mabye even get a real job.....lol

here is the email i got.

Hello,

Hope you are having a pleasant day today.

I received your application for the job position I advertised on craigslist, kindly read this e-mail carefully to know what this position entail. It is imperative that I find the perfect person for the job and I'm hoping will be the best you can be.

Before I go any further, you should know a few things about me. I'm Sean Knowles, I'm 45 and I'm married with 2 adorable children. I run my family's farm mainly, I also have a handful of investments and businesses of my own particularly in the real estate market and as a private lender. I'm also a Certified Payroll Specialist working for a number of companies within and outside the US as a private eye / analyst in their payroll activities. I travel very frequently trying to expand my business and sometimes there is a work overload for me, this is the more reason I'm looking to find someone back home who is efficient, self-motivated, organized, a good communicator with an ability to multi-task under pressure and who can help me keep up to date with all of my activities amidst my ever busy schedule.

It is important for you to note that you are being hired by me personally, not by my family or any other businesses that I represent, and although most of your duties will be centered around the activities relating to these businesses, you will be working for me as a personal admin assistant. I will be personally responsible for your wage; all correspondences, findings and queries would be made and promptly reported to me personally no matter the circumstances. The position is part-time and home-based, you will need to set up a home-office if you don't already have one; we will discuss the costs of setting this up as we move along. Most importantly, you need to have a regular internet and telephone access, with this, I can easily convey instructions no matter where I am on what I need to be done at a particular time.

Your activities as amongst other things will include;

* Reconciling bank statements, coding and entering accounts payable;
* Preparing payments (checks) for signature;
* Invoicing, managing accounts receivable and/or customer account collections;
* Inventory control, file management;
* Purchasing needs;
* Budgeting and forecasting, and cost accounting;
* Handling and monitoring financial activities;
* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence;
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring;
* Organizing and maintaining diaries, memos and making appointments;
* Dealing with incoming email, faxes and post;
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up;
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring;
* General clerical activities.

Basic wage is $300 a week after tax. Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week.

This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing a week, however bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others but the pay will always be steady. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.

There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

I'm currently in England now attending a seminar, in the mean time we will begin unofficially pending my arrival because I have a number of important things you could begin work on immediately. Your wage remains intact during this period so I'm hoping you can be available immediately, it certainly can act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship. As soon as I get back though, we will arrange a meeting and set up a proper interview.

Due to the excessive number of responses to this job Ad, I will require the following details about yourself to filter applicants and
for a personal record update;

Full Names
Full Contact Address
City
State
Zip Code
Phone Number (H)
Phone Number (M)
Occupation (if any)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sean Knowles
