Run, do not walk, away from this! That "test of duty/trust" is a hallmark of how scams work. There will be some condition that will get your money into their hands. What is the company name? Is it actually Data Job Company? Is there a website?
Yes, the company name is (apparently) "Data Job Company". I don't think there is a website. Thank you, mountainmom5, talfighel, and circleb for your responses. In retrospect, it is obviously a scam. I guess it was a stupid question on my part. I sent the following response: Since you are a legitimate company, and not scammers, can I assume there will be no rush from the time that I "handling funds on behalf of the company", "receive a payment", and when I incur expenditures, such that the receipt of payment will have adequate time to insure legitimacy of payment? Perhaps a more efficient and expedient logistical approach would be for you to purchase the requisite software, along with the office equipment, and ship them concurrently. I look forward to resolution of such minor anachronism, and working with you as an online staff.
Stoky that is such a great response to them! And it really doesn't make sense why they would give someone money to buy equipment instead of them just shipping you the equipment directly, or paying for it themselves and listing your address as the shipping address. Definitely should be avoided!
These normally turn out onto dissapointments. Don't pursue it at all!!Eventually, you will be requested to pay some money as well.
