New to WFH concept thanks to the economy  and need your help on this "opportunity". Responded to a post on Craigslist from a Linda Cox at Samsungmobile for data entry people @ $25/hr.
When I put in her name and Samsung - WFH forum came up showing Linda Cox name. Now I can't find the info. So help - is this ligit? or another scam.

Hi WFHwannabe,
I doubt that anyone would pay $25/hour for data entry. I wouldn't bother trying to pursue that one.
Trust your gut.

Newbie shield is right. Lately a lot of scammers have been using big company names to get people to respond to them.

Wow, so much money for data entry job.
I doubt it is a real job. It may be another scam.

balancemebooks: and?
Linda Cox: Its was okay
balancemebooks: just ok
balancemebooks: ??
Linda Cox: So how are you preparing for the easther
balancemebooks: I'm planning to go to my mom's after church
Linda Cox: okay
balancemebooks: and you?
Linda Cox: You will be receiving a payment from the comany
Linda Cox: company
Linda Cox: A date with a friend
balancemebooks: a payment?
Linda Cox: As soon as you receive the payment you are to deduct 200 dollars from it and then send the balance to the shipper who will be responsible for the shipping of our supplies
balancemebooks: I don't get it
balancemebooks: that has nothing to do with data entry
Linda Cox: the 200 dollars that you will deduct is your petty cash for the upkeep of your mini office
Linda Cox: Its just an assignment
Linda Cox: we need to know if we can trust you with company fund
Linda Cox: Its called a Test of Trust
balancemebooks: well, it's not an assignment I'm comfortable with because my bank has warned us against these types of transactions
Linda Cox: I understand you
Linda Cox: But i can assure you that you are secured
balancemebooks: how can you assure that?
Linda Cox: Thats why we are connecting all our employees to our secured net work
Linda Cox: to make sure you are all secured
Linda Cox: We are aware of the High Rate of internet fraud
Linda Cox: there is an option
Linda Cox: okay
balancemebooks: what's that?
Linda Cox: can you purchase the package with your money
Linda Cox: its 800 dollars
balancemebooks: are you directly affiliated with Samsung Electronics?
Linda Cox: if you can do that then no problem
Linda Cox: the 800 dollars will be included with your first week salary
balancemebooks: I can't do that
Linda Cox: good
Linda Cox: so what do you think
balancemebooks: good?
balancemebooks: you didn't answer my question
balancemebooks: are you directly affiliated with Samsung Electronics?
Linda Cox: of course we are
balancemebooks: the large corporation??
Linda Cox: yes
balancemebooks: why do they not know you then?
Linda Cox: they do
Linda Cox: did you try contacting them
balancemebooks: really?.......the personnel manager Linda Cox?
balancemebooks: of course I contacted them......I'm not an idiot......I gave you references to check me out, and I checked you out as well!
balancemebooks: I'm a business woman.....not a desperate money hog! lol
Linda Cox: Yes i am
Linda Cox: i understood you okay
Linda Cox: All you need do now is accept the payment
Linda Cox: the packages is worth 1800 dollars including shipping
balancemebooks: the only money I will accept would be a paycheck
Linda Cox: okay
balancemebooks: I won't do the large check and send money here or there.....that's not legitimate
Linda Cox: it dependd okay
balancemebooks: my references will inform you as to my authenticity and trustworthiness
Linda Cox: i understand and we have to give you a trial
balancemebooks: but that's not a trial......
Linda Cox: it is
Linda Cox: i also did it
Linda Cox: okay
Linda Cox: maybe you have to think about it
balancemebooks: let me find out from Samsung if this is legit and then I will let you know
Linda Cox: okay
Linda Cox is typing a message.
Linda Cox: bye foe now
balancemebooks: I feel that this isn't authentic
Linda Cox has signed out. (4/10/2009 9:52 AM)
DO NOT believe anything from Samsung! I talked to them yesterday and was told that they don't advertise positions on Craigslist! They only advertise on their website, and through temp agencies!!!
