I'm sure this is a scam but I wonder what the angle is?

Maybe it's not a scam... he is, after all, the "Main Hiring Manager"

and he used my FFullName (never seen anyone type stutter before)

The job sounds awesome... Assistants Manager... That's like a full letter better than Assistant Manager... neato...

I'm digging the idea of making 1.5k per month at 2 hours per day of work time.

Old scam...

You have to provide your bank account information for direct deposit of pay for your services...

Once given...your account is cleaned out...

Are people really dumb enough to do that? I guess they are... someone is still working it...

I think they are very educated. Assistants Manager is the proper term, like Attorneys General or culs-de-sac.

Not in my world

The Assistant Manger would assist the Manager. The Assistants Manager would assist the Managers assistants. Maybe it's a government job...

"and he used my FFullName (never seen anyone type stutter before)"

One of my Grandaugthters type stutters nearly everything she types on Facebook. Very hard to read. Drives me up the wall. She thinks it's cute.

This sounds like the job I've been looking for for 40 years.

Work from 11am - Noon with an hour off for lunch. Pay by direct deposit. If he would knock off an hour I might be interested. Not sure I could handle the early hours though.
Maybe 10 but 9 I would have to really think about.

could be working a cold call mutual fund phone bank-after about 2 hours you would be burned out for the day and tyyping extra lettters and not poofreading before hitting send.
