PERSONAL ASSISTANT NEEDED!

Phish Bowl Alerts

Another example of the "Administrative/Personal Assistant" job scam. Like the earlier Job posting at "school job link", it claims to have sought out the recipient, recommended by "your school admin" for being "an honest person". This example includes other similarities to previous job scams, including typos and unexpected phrasing (such as "position is rewarded with $300 weekly").
