Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you’re able to read between the lines. Because too often the con artists are very good at including details of real jobs and companies in their ad and follow up emails. But as you pointed out once you read stuff about receiving and forwarding packages or cashing/depositing checks into your own bank account, they’ve revealed themselves. So it’s important to read between the lines as you’ve done. Thanks for sharing.
