Julia Schneider,
Project manager,

The next day I emailed the company back and told the I was ready to start.
The company seemed very legit, they sent me employment agreement papers, papers basically telling me about the company.
So I recieved another email saying the following.
Before we start, you should sign our Employment Agreement(see the file attached)and e-mail me the scanned copy of signed agreement form or fax it to (732) 747-6031 or (508) 546-0440.
Please, take a few minutes to complete Personal Information file again (this form should be filled only in MsWord format and send to your manager's email. Please dont scan or fax this form.).

and money transfers, we need your complete info to store in our database.

The third email I recieved read that, I would recieve a package in the mail, I was to ship it from my local post office the next day, the postage was already paid for and to send a package recieved/package transfered email back to her.
By the end of the month I was expecting a pay check instead I was contacted by paypal saying you have been apart of a scam Credit Card Fraud.
So of course I was terrifed. Paypal is now doing an investigation.
So please be aware of these frauds. They go by the names of Julia S. Mier, Eric Burton and Julia D. Schnieder
