I received an email from ***** ********** ********@mail.uc.edu, offering $550 a week to do various administrative tasks like making or receiving payments or gifts and processing paperwork and keeping records. The position was a home based flexible part-time job. They attached a Google form to the document for me to complete. I shared my name, address, phone, email, gender, age, occupation, and my 2022 Tax return. Then I sent my resume and a description of why I wanted the position. This afternoon, I received a reply from them saying: "I trust this message finds you well. I'm writing to express my keen interest in you being my personal assistant.
