It's an internet scam -- you answer an ad on Craigslist for a work from home job and get a response via email.  I provided my name and address and later in the day I re-read the response and decided it just didn't sound right.  I realized on the second reading that you're expected to be responsible for cashing checks and getting the money to 'the company'.  I got an email requesting confirmation of my "details" which I deleted and did NOT respond to.  Yesterday I rec'd a check in the mail from a place named Seahorse Bioscience, Inc. in the amount of $2670.10.  I Googled the company and it's a legitimate company BUT they have a large warning on their page saying there's an internet scam using their company name and warning that if you do deposit/cash the check, it will be returned as it's not valid.

The guy who responded to my email about the job was Jeffrey Hodges at Angoss Software, 435-363-8014.  He called again yesterday as well as sending 3 emails.  When I realized it was him, I called him an internet scam artist and told him not to call me again.  He had a thick accent, had to hear his name three or four times to finally figure out it was him.
