Re: Is this a scam?
Like I always say before you dive into anything investigate.
1. Red flags and siren are going off with this one:

Thanks a lot for your interest in the position. You will be our Payroll Manager, who will work as our representative in United States .You will be a Payroll Manager for posting Payments and Documents to our clients and I will give you guide lines as we proceed

2. Exact where is the company located, what is the name and what is the product?

COMPANY SERVICE is a well established manufacturing Firm, that delivers high quality precision furniture's products to some of the largest and best known companies in far back Asia, the regions Of America and rest of the world for a long time.

3. Why are you purchasing any software to do their job, will this software benefit you and your future clients?

before you are qualified,you must have Computer and Printer with internet ready and get Check Soft 2008 at Staples or Office Max store around you and have it downloaded on your computer.

Enough said, another way to scam.

Default Re: Is this a scam?
Thank you everyone for your responses. I know better than to respond to gmail accounts. I personally work with businesses that are still using yahoo as their business accounts so you still need to check them out. However, every single gmail account has led to a scam.

The reason why I applied to the origninal email in the first place is that it looked like a real job posting and the time of day was within business hours (not 2 am). Also, when I googled the email address an the guys name, nothing came up.
