Default PCH Auto Sales

Almost certainly a scam, but Google searches don't reveal much:

Subject: Posting Job Available on Craigslist
------------------------

From: craigslist <ribertador@xxxxxxx.com>
Date: 2011/11/30
To: eric.xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.com

Hello,

My name is Allen Johnson on behalf of PCH AUTO SALES and CRAIGSLIST.

We need someone who can post ads for us in the cars+trucks sections (in multiple cities and states). 2This job is flexible, you can do all of the tasks during your spare time outside of work or school. Just plain text ads with 4 pictures need to be posted. You will receive the ad content.

You must know how to post on craigslist. You have to use your own PVA.
You will get money for each post. This is not easy money for nothing, you must work a little bit for this money. You will be paid after each posting so you don't have to worry about not getting paid at the end of month.

Prices we can offer:

1-5 postings - 5$ for each post
10-15 postings - 10$ for each post
15-20 postings - 20$ for each post

We have craigslist authorization to contact you in this way.

Please reply us if you are interested. Thanks for your time.

Whatever you do, don't unzip or open that file, before you talk to this guy on the phone, if he exists...

PHC Auto Sales doesn't Google out well.

Scam probability: 99.9999%
