Hello there!
Thank you for your interest in our office position.
A little more information about us:
We are a recently founded yet quickly growing property management company that hopes to foster a fun yet efficient environment for our new employee. You will have access to your own computer, desk, telephone, and free roam of the facility which has a very nice employee lounge. Unlike other companies we believe an easygoing and friendly atmosphere is more facilitative to quality! We also pay our employees slightly higher than the competition with paid medical in order to retain them and grow a long lasting mutually beneficial business relationship.
In order for me to schedule you for an interview you must first demonstrate your ability to use the internet, telephone, email, enter data, and follow instructions. We have designed a basic test for this purpose - it should take you 15 minutes or less to complete.

at verifyyouridentity.com, if you are gullible like i was, you're led through the steps of making a email account and a craigslist account that these people will steal from you overnight, by changing the password you provide them with to said account info that is supposed to be verifying your identity...
the webpage looks like this:
Please follow these steps:
1. Create a new account at Hotmail.com
-Use your first name.last name + numbers/letters, ie: john.[protected]@hotmail.com
-Write down your email and password.
2. Signup for an new Account
-Use the email you just created ie: john.[protected]@hotmail.com
3. After you create the account you will need to confirm it via email.
-Log in to your hotmail account, find the email and click the link to confirm.
-Use the same password for the account as you did the hotmail account.
4. Once logged in attempt to post an ad in any category of the "Services" section.
-Choose any category ie: beauty, computer, creative and attempt to post.
5. This will require you to "Go to Phone Authentication" and enter your phone number.
-Enter your phone number and select either a text message or phone call.
6. You will receive a phone call or text message stating any request for this code is a scam.
-Ignore this message and write down the code.
7. Enter the code in to the browser and complete the phone verification.
-Successfully post an ad in the category you selected. Be creative.
-Example: TITLE: Hair Dresser for Hire CITY: Seattle AD: Shampoos, cuts, perms, charge $40/hr
8. Return to VerifyYourIdentity.com.
9. Enter the following:
-YOUR CONTACT EMAIL, HOTMAIL, PHONE #, PASSWORD and CODE
