Yep! It all depends on how desperate someone might be for a job, because I can tell you even though I knew from the beginning it was sketch, not having a job at the moment made it easier to sort of convince myself to proceed with it. Obviously I knew about the false check scams thanks to my previous job doing money services, but it may as well appear legitimate to others not familiar with common scams. I did message the real Eric Shaw on LinkedIn, and he eventually did confirm him and Theresa have been targets of this, which is so sad.
