I was contacted via email by this company for an online/work from home job. Because the email referenced a legitimate jobs service website, I went ahead and contacted them. They provided a lot of details, including a working website.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.
After the interview (see yahoo conversation below), I Googled the software I was supposed to use and found this site and several other reports of this scam.
