I messaged Cathy Ketring. I'd asked questions, and her responses were immediately a few seconds later. I was suspicious because the responses were pretty lenghty for how fast she replied. Like they were copying and pasting responses from a script. Some of the replies include:

I advised the "recruiter" that I thought it was a scam. They denied it was m, saying they've work for company for several yrs by starting in data entry to being promoted to recruiter.
I interviewed with the another"recruiter" through What's App, but not voice or video. Just chat.
I responded to a few questions, but then stop before providing further personal info. I told my mother in law I think it's a scam. She said that it came from a private group. I advised FB doesn't vet it's users.
Today, this Cathy person is asking if I'm still interested. Will be blocking & asking FB group to as well.
At the Google Hangouts interview, I was given the company name and some supposed background. The company really does exist in the U.S., but that one is *not* headquartered in Dubai, as I discovered later when checking into things a little further. A website exists for the one that supposedly is, but that one is barely sketched out and just a front, to make it look as though they really exist. I was told that offices would be opening in my town a couple of months from now, and that until then, if hired, I would be working from home. I then spent an hour answering pretty standard interview questions, at the end of which I was told I'd been impressive so far and my interviewer thought I'd be a perfect fit for the position. I was asked to stand by while she sent my responses to her superiors for review, and when she came back I was told I had the job. A data entry/administrative support job, at $25. I was asked for the name of my banking institution just so there wouldn't be an issue with the company check.
I got all excited for about a minute and a half, then was told that funds for the software I would need to purchase would be sent to me by company check, after which I'd be referred to the vendor I was to use. Finally, my alarms went off. I am now in possession of a pretty good-looking check in the amount of $6,552.49, delivered by FedEx. The Bank name is from one location (in my state,) but the return address on the FedEx slip is somewhere else (different state.) I lied and reported that I had deposited the check, and was told I'd need to send them a picture of the deposit slip for their records. I said that I don't have a way to do that, but that a friend might. I intend to see if I can get them to tell me the vendor's name that I'm supposed to purchase the software from, but I suspect they're going to blow me off without a pic of my deposit slip.
Hi Erika,
Below are the details of the check that will be delivered today to you via USPS which is for the purchase of gift items for the foster home and also to cover your weekly pay, you can go ahead and have it tracked on the USPS website so you are sure it delivered
Tracking Number:................9405501699320112747520
Amount...........$2495
Once you get the check just go straight to the nearest ATM Machine/Your Bank account ASAP, and deposit it into your account,part of the funds would be immediately made available for withdrawal while the rest will be available next day. Make sure you notify me and let me know how much was made available after the deposit into your account. So once the rest of the funds is available, kindly inform me for further instructions.
I just contacted the foster home that will be receiving the gift items to furnish me with the list of items they require which I will relay to you in my next email.
Kindly let me know once you have received the check and deposited it ,plus email me a copy of the deposit slip. Email back ASAP to confirm you received this notification
Stay remain blessed.
Regards,
When I finally did get to a computer, I texted her telling her that I was ready to do the interview, but I did not hear anything back from her until on July 23, I was in the middle of supper at a local restaurant that had WI-FI and got a notification that Mr. Stone sent me a Google Hangout IM to do the interview. He claimed to be the interview manager for Capitol Health LTD in Covington, GA. Ms. Clark stated to me in the text messages that it would be a video conversation, but when I chatted with Mr. Stone, it only ended up being just a IM chat.
He asked me these questions:
(@) What do you understand by the term "petty-cash" ?
(@) Are you currently employed/How long have you been looking for a job?
(@) Are you seeking Full Time /Part Time?
(@) Do you know how to make use of MS excel and what's your typing speed ?
(@) We have met several candidates, Why are you the one we should hire?
(@) Do you have a Printer,Scanner and a Photocopier?
(@) What is your philosophy towards work?
(@) What is more important to you: the money or the work?
(@) If offered this position how would you like to be paid...Via Check Or Direct Deposit,Weekly or Bi-Weekly?
Upon completion of the "interview" he told me that he would have to send my answers to the company's Board of Directors and get back to me in 30 minutes (on a Saturday at 7:00 pm, really?) When he returned, he gave me the news that I had obtained the job and promptly wanted my bank's name, but I would not give it to him. So, I then later sent Mr. Stone an email asking to know more about his identity and requested a phone number so that I could speak to him by phone, but never received a response.
