PLIMSOLL A new twist on an old scam Internet

This is supposedly an offer for employment from Angela Dwight, Plimsoll Inc. They ask for resume/credentials, bank info, then indicate they will send money to purchase office equipment and software, as a test of your integrity and ability to deal with money. They also indicate they will send a Dell computer, which you also have to pay for with these funds.

I have just had a very extensive IM chat, whereby, rather than explaining why I need to purchase these items, instead of the company sending them, the only conversation they were willing to engage in was my credit card and banking info.

The only thing I could find re this company is legitimate businesses that carry the Plimsoll name, so I believe they are using legitimate companies as a front.

I have been through this before with my daughter, company name I dont remember. She received the funds, requested the bank hold the check for 2 weeks to make sure it cleared, which they did, she then spent the funds as directed, and about a month later was informed by the bank that the funds were fraudulent. She was then held responsible for the money she withdrew.

I have just received another offer of employment from James Moore, Komass Tee Limited, asking the exact same questions, and the exact same promise of funds to be deposited to purchase office equipment and software.

I also received another one from Joyce Steven, Global Fleet Limited. Again, exactly the same.
