Just a little story to share with everyone
I was at my current job, out in the filed, driving to the office where I had to do some printer repairs. I receive a call from this lady that is from out of state (Illinois and I live in Florida). She asks if I'm interested in installing some servers. She doesn't even introduce herself, explain the company she works for, or what her job title is.
She says something to the effect of, "Hi, I saw your resume in Monster and was wondering if you wanted to install some servers for 'xxx' company." I say, "Um...Okay." She says, "Great. I'll send you some information through your email and we'll get started."
To make that conversation short I asked what the requirements are, what qualifications I need, and what do I do from then on.
I get the email from her the same day and I have to reply with all the information filled out in the attachments she sent. Here's the scary part: I have to put my SSN and bank account numbers for direct deposit. So I asked you guys for some advice. See

Almost three weeks go by and finally hear from the lady. She gives me more information about my job sites and procedures. Big relief but I'm still not sure if it's legit until I make to the location.
Anyway, I just finished my last of three nights doing this gig. Installs went perfectly, I met some new friends who knows some friends who knows some friends in IT. I might also get a hook up on some discounts from the store manager.
Moral of the story:
Do some research before committing.
I was stressing out because I didn't know if this was a scam and I had already sent my paper work before I looked up the company in the BBB website.
Ask questions about the company.
And most important: Don't stress out too much.
