Once they have your resume, they will contact you to do an interview via instant messenger. The person who conducted the interview called himself James Trimble and used the following e-mail address:

Elizabeth Shreve supposedly was the sofware vendor and they wanted $1250.
Obviously I wasn't going to send them funds that were not verified and originated from them. I then googled Elizabeth's name and found the previous reports and ceased all communication with them.
