Hello how are you doing today? Anyway add up Mrs Maddie Trey the online interview manager on maddietrey@yahoo.com so that she can take you through the job interview session Asap take good care of your self God bless....

The God Bless had me thinking even more that this could be a scam.  Unfortunately it is and is already listed here but not in Australia, which is what i am now alerting people to.
Had I given them my yahoo im details, which i didn't set up luckily, they could have easily hacked into my computer, giving them alot more information about me which they apparently steal and use for fraud.
