Michelle Burns Marcie Olson, Coy Watson, Elizabeth Walter, These people claimed to have work-at-home job lined up but are really scam artists looking to get money. They will ask you to set up a yahoo IM so they can brief you for an interview. Don't be fooled. Internet
Last night a woman by the name of Michelle Burns with IM [email protected] sent a text to my phone using a computer number (924-665-01) saying that she saw my resume on www.bankjobs.com and wanted to do an interview via IM and that I needed to set up a yahoo acct if I didn't have one. I already had one, so she gave me her address and I added her to my list as per her request. She told me to click on a link www.goldmansachs.com and look over it. She claimed to be with that company. It seemed legit, so we proceeded with the interview, where she went down a list of available job positions such as data entry, clerical administration, administration clerk/assistance, bookkeeping, customer service, etc and asked which one I'd be interested in. I told her bookkeeping, so she went down what the duties would be, which sounded like a bit much and said pay would be $35/hr with $21/hr training and that company would provide car, free laptop, and other benefits. She told me the job was mine. To me, it sounded too good to be true. After that she asked for my full name and address. She said before we could proceed with training I needed to purchase the accounting software, which was MYOB Business Essentials 2011, US Patent Single Users Pack, and Simply Accounting 2011. She told me I needed to purchase it and the company would reimburse me with a check. I had red flags going up since the interview started and I never heard of any of that software, so I decided to look it up and came across scam alerts that had similar conversations of my interview posted on several sites. She used bad grammar, misspelled words, and seemed real eager to get me to pay. Thank goodness I went with my gut, so I told her I wasn't interested and that I came across scam alerts pertaining to work-at-home jobs. She didn't respond back. Now, since last night I had four other scammers trying to same thing. They start by contacting you via text and say they are from such and such company and would like to brief you for an interview. I just want to alert anyone who come across these type of people so we could put them where they belong... jail!

Whenever someone claiming to be from a major corporation contacts you with a throwaway email address (i.e. Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail), you can write it off as a scam. Legitimate contact would always be from the compay domain.
