It was suspicious at this point so I looked up scams for employment. Quite frequently they occur on Indeed.com from looking at the help section. I replied with some knowledge and errors I had found. I have not received an email since.

"Hello Mathew,

Can you verify that you have a company email address? Also I tried finding you on linkedIn and Google. I could not find you. I read online that job offers are made to unwittingly naive people at unbelievably high rates and chosen quickly without much background check. And that alone would have taken some time. Another issue is that high company officials use personal assistants to clean dirty money by deposits. There also has been several grammatical errors. Run on sentences, to commas being used in several emails, instead of a period to complete a sentence. I stated by transfer for payment, not check. Also why would I reconfirm my address for a third time? Firstly, I do not want to work for someone that I constantly repeat myself in email regarding sensitive information. Secondly, I believe this is a scam. It would be nice to receive an explanation for why you are doing this. "

Omg. Thank you so much! You saved me from a scam. My replies from this person were almost identical to yours.
