<human>: Hey guys. Recently, I have been sending out my resume to businesses on craigslist in search of a job as a receptionist. I got a reply back this morning from an advertisement, and the guy was telling me all about a job completely different than what the advertisement stated. He keeps emailing me about wanting me to be his personal assistant, and he asked for my information so he could send a check for the first week's salary, along with extra money and instructions for me to give to orphanages.

The only thing that sketches me out is that I can't find his name anywhere on Google, even though he claims to be a very successful entrepreneur. He claims that he is in Europe for the next three weeks, and is hard of hearing so he can't talk on the phone...*so he can only correspond by email.* Also, he responds to my messages with a different email each time.

Is this a scam, or has anyone else run into this guy?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: $500/week just to do mundane errands for an elderly man who won't meet with me in person seems a bit off.
