I applied for this office job as a personal assistant and then received an email from "Elizabeth" saying I was hired and would only need to work 3 days a week, 4 hours a day for $480/week. She only communicated thru text and email due to some made up hearing injury. She said she sends money to orphanages and within 2 days, overnights me a FAKE certified check through FedEx for $2748.47 and asks me to deposit it into my account and keep my $480 and send the rest to the orphanage thru moneygram. Thank God I found this site and realized it was a scam!!! I Have not reply to her or answer her tex message
I need a job and I thought this was great for me I do not know what to do about this I'm a little scared

I applied to a position on craigs list, and got this totally funny letter... looked up the name on google, and saw the EXACT letter posted to another girl who had applied, except it was signed by a woman, and she said she had a husband and 3 kids instead of a wife and 3 kids.
Why do these people not just get jobs themselves and try to do something good for the world?
See whole letter posted below;
