Type of a scam Employment
I received an email from "Kurt Vogel" offering a position as a personal assistant. I was then informed I got the job and that I would be paid to purchase several pieces of tech equipment for the job. It seemed too good to be true, so when I started researching it online, scam warnings popped up. This person or entity has my information and my resume, along with my address. I am worried about receiving illegitimate information or mail from them. Should I be going to the police? I’m pasting a copy of the initial email below.
