Then they must have understood that used wrong name, so they sent me a text from number +13476205742:
Hello Good morning, this is James Thomas Riggs Ternus you have been emailing me about the job, i just want to let you know that you have been hired, kindly check your email to see th information i sent you there

GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION IS AS IT WAS IN LETTERS.

WHOIS regarding Domain Name: LEGALCAREERBUILUP.ORG:
Updated Date: 2016-09-26T18:26:40Z
Creation Date: 2016-09-26T18:26:39Z
Registrant Name: PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC
Registrant Organization:
Registrant Street: 12808 Gran Bay Parkway West
Registrant City: Jacksonville
Registrant State/Province: FL
Registrant Postal Code: 32258
Registrant Country: US

My epilogue: there were a lot of red flags about these letters, even without grammar mistakes and "i" instead of "I". I did not provide any information that cannot be found in my resume, so I think there's nothing I need to be afraid of. Needless to say, I will not answer the 2 email, but in case they write anything else - I will make an update here.
P.S. If there's anyone in Florida - you can stop by the abovementioned address and tell them they don't have to send check - you can take cash instead )))

UPD: I'm sorry, I just read who PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC is. They register domain names for people who do not want to disclose their personal data. That's a real catch for scammers!

This has lots of standard scam verbiage. legalcareerbuilup.org is email-only. Please post the complete headers of the email so that we can kill it.
