Post Title: Customer Service/Administrative Assistant

Location: tallahassee

States affected: FL - florida    

Notes:
I responded to an ad that was placed on careerbuilder.com. In a week, I received an email stating :

Hello Applicant,

Hope you're having a pleasant day today Thanks for the feed back to my message concerning the PA i need. Do take time to go through this introductory mail and feel free to pass any questions on.

My profile briefly:
I'm Mr Christopher Conley a father of 3 wonderful Boys , a successful entrepreneur and investor, a member of the WDT & Co. I'm also a research journalist and I travel every now and then within and outside the Canada working on various independent projects, this is why I need someone who can help keep up to date with all of my activities especially when I'm away and amidst my busy schedule.

I have had a previous Personal Assistant who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since moved on with her personal life and it has affected me in a way. I found her previously on the craigslist website and I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been. Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level. All correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally. The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have a regular internet access. You are also hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage.Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official packages will be delivered via posts. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my assistant amongst other things will include;

* 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;
* Carrying out background research and presenting findings;
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up;
* Arranging travel and accommodation
* Carrying out specific projects and research;

Basic wage is $400 a week.
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, just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. 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.

This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I'm currently in Manchest , UK now for a project, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with immediately, prior to my arrival.

I would advise anyone receiving an email just like this or similar to this to beware. I looked up the company in which this person said he worked for and noticed that it was on the flake list. I read some of the other post placed by others who had received emails similar to this and noticed that this was a scam. There are various names and wages used in the emails but all with the same content. Please DO NOT give these people your information. You will be sorry!
