well I got this too today also, exactly the way is described and I told them about the check that will take about 7 to ten days to cleared and she replied, no it will clear on the spot. If the company was legit they will have to send via DD or Pre paid card for expenses, but people be alert this little things might help you to be alert and not fall for something to be good to be true. Previously someone did the same thing to me Nation wide about my using my vehicle to advertise some drink but they also send a check for expenses. Good thing I worked for places that I know about scams and this is not real. people be aware!

Type of a scam Employment
Medicare Hellas is a company in Greece. They said they will be opening up in the United States. They were going to hire me for an administrative position. They sent me paperwork and it was not professional looking nor did it have great grammar. They sent me a cashier’s check for $3400. I was to buy a laptop, chair and desk. They seem to be a scam.
