I replied to this email saying: "Please tell me, does anyone ever fall for this garbage or did you think I was a more outstanding idiot? I am no fool and I wasn't born yesterday. NEVER EVER email me again. I'm not buying what you are shoveling. Have a nice day."

Ben Wayne Replied with:

Hello again. I am sorry for the late reply. As requested, you can find the contract attached to this e-mail message.
The file is in .rtf format, you can open it with Microsoft Word / WordPad . Please download it and read it carefully and if you decide to work for us, you can fill it and send it to us by e-mail, by replying to this message. To fill it, you will need to download it, print it, complete it, then re-scan it and e-mail it. A faster way to "SIGN" the contract would be to download it and fill it using MS WORD / WORDPAD, as filling up with any of those programs, from your computer will be considered a digital signature.

Thank you anticipated and looking forward to hear from you ASAP. Benjamin Wayne;

Then I replied again: "AND AGAIN I SAY: DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE??, Email me again and I'll report you."

Watch out for this one! What legitimate employer tells you to buy something with your own funds to get reimbursed later on? Also, BEWARE of other NON-TRADITIONAL JOBS posted on careerbuilder.com and other sites. They are non-traditional because you have to pay something up front on blind faith in someone you have never met in order to get or maintain said job!
