Type of a scam Employment
I received an email for employment; which makes sense because I’m currently looking for different employment. I started noticing some red flags in subsequent emails such as: misspelled words, incomplete sentences & some of the emails were from a Mark Twain; which I guess could be possible but highly unlikely. Below is the first email:

Type of a scam Business Email Compromise
I originally received an email stating they were interested in hiring me for an opening for a Procurement Manager position. A brief job description was attached. I had to click on a link to let them know that I was interested. A few days later I received an email from a different email address stating they wanted to offer me the job. I have more documents I can provide. I have attached the document that supposedly provides company information. There is no address or contact phone number. The other documents are an employment application asking for personal information and past employers. The last document is a questions and answer document. In that document it states that I would collect money from customers and then send the company their portion.
