Thank you for posting this email. I won't wast my time now that I know is all a scam.

I got the same email and several slightly more pushy emails. Guessed it must be a scam since I am not looking for a position outside Texas.

I got the exact same email!  Happy to learn it is a scam... Before I spent any more time looking into it.  THANKS!

actually the number is a Seattle, Washington number, but i was contacted by the same company via email though...even though i asked for credentials that would verify the company and job offer is real, nothing was sent and for some reason they thought i accepted the offer. There is no Design Emporium location in Seattle..i know because i am from Seattle!   read the email below...BEWARE of any job offer that is out of country. this is how they got into my mail box:
