Daughter in LA just answered same criagslist ad and got directed to this number belonging to Christian Reeves. I'm guessing it may have something to do with you spending money from their account, which probably doesn't have any money in it so you are left covering the difference.

Hm I saw a similar ad on craigslist and I replied. Got a call back from this number and he left a voicemail asking me to call him back to discuss the job. But his name is different. Should have known it was too good to be true.

I got exact email a couple of weeks ago.  I called that number yesterday and got just a general VM. I didn't leave a message.  Then today at 6:15 am Pacific time I get a call from that number, and when I answered they hung up.  I then called back, and they answered but didn't say anything.. Then they disconnected the call.  They then called my telephone number and I answered and I said "Hello" and they said "Hello" back and they would not say anything else. Then I said who is this and it was a silly game.  I think this is a job internet scam.  
Ridiculous people trying to exploit the unemployed.. B*****ds...
