Hi, is this a scam email I received?

We Answered:

Yes, it's a scam. I am NOT a finance/accounting major and received the same email. A large company will not recruit employees in this manner and would not use a gmail account. Mine was from piter.herrick@gmail.com. Also, a large company would not state that this position requires a HS diploma, but that a college degree is a plus. Most large companies expect a college degree so unless you are working an internship partnered with your school and are A) excelling in school and B) excelling in your internship, this type of offer would not be common. The other possibility of this type of job offer without a degree is that you are already employed by a company and have demonstrated outstanding performance and capability on the job.

You should cease communication; they are probably looking for your personal information...i.e. social security number, birth date, name...information to steal your identity. You say they haven't asked...yet, but that will come when they "determine" you are their ideal candidate and want to "finalize" your application.

How can I find out if my neighborhood is zoned for a home business?

We Answered:

Simple, just go to Your City Hall and into the Zoning and Code enforcement Departments. Also, how did you get a Business License without going to the Secretery of State? Also, find out if your Community Association will honor small businesses in the neighborhood. If your home is zoned Residential, you'll have to appear before the City Council and plead your case. Sometimes neighbors don't want any kind of businesses next door or in their neighborhoods. Best thing for you to do is become community active and all these questions and answers will surface for you. Good luck.
