David Reed: The same wa the company is willing to trust you with the money orders...
me: Is this a test as to my trustworthiness with money in regards to your company? Would it not save time to send the money directly to the software suppliers as opposed to you sending it to me, then from me to them? Also, am I paid for the training?

me: What kind of issues, please? There are Canadian banking issues when ti comes to foreign money orders. All Canadian banks tend to hold anywhere from 7 to 30 days, depending on the issuing bank. Or could send on collection. Then, I'm actually paying for the software in advance out of my own pocket, on your word alone that the funds are there.
David Reed: How do you mean?
David Reed: Can you pay for the office supplies out of your pocket for now until you get the money orders?
me: No, I can't. Can you send me the packages?
me: I don't know if I even have the job.
David Reed: why do you say so?

I was so angry that I decide to contact the Lightning Car Company on their website and inform then what had transpired and to get back to me. Here is my message to them:
I received an email from your junior HR manager James Fisher for a customer service position.
I was told to do a Yahoo Instant messenger interview with your Recruitment Officer David Reed. On March 8, 2010, I had the interview, Mr. David Reed offered to have your company issue me money orders for accounting computer software needed for my training. I was to deposit the money orders to my bank and send upon his instructions by Western Union to your computer software suppliers and I would received the software 2 days later. The job of the customer service would be mine, if I complied. He then asked, when questioned about the strange arrangement, if I could pay out of pocket for the software. I replied no, believing it to be a scam. Is this your company's way of doing business? Do J. Fisher or D. Reed even work for your company? If not you have a problem. Please let me know ASAP, I have all emails,Yahoo messenger and information copied. If you so require for authorities. I will wait 2 business day for an answer if not I will report this to authorities myself.

The Lightning Car Company has not gotten back in touch with me. I must now assume that the Website is a fraud or the Lightning Car Company is involved in this job scam or they just don't care about their reputation. They have been going to manufacture their electric car for over 2 years now and they are taking 3700 pounds Sterling deposits for orders. I would be very wary of this company since they never replied to me. This job posting and others are still on the net and I have read of another individual who was approached by them but they asked for his Banking information.
