I would never work for anyone I haven't spoken to face-to-face. At the very least over skype.

Ummm, okay. Totally didn't expect the ending, rather something along the lines of 'now I'm 10000$ poorer but gained valuable experience that people are dicks' or something like that. But hey, more power to you.

Headers aren't helpful here.... Since it was sent over hotmail to gmail all the IP's contianed in the message are just going to be the source/destination servers of microsoft/google (I did dns lookups on all of them and they're registered to official channels, and one of them is in San Diego USA, which I'm assuming is where the OP is from).

Although a huge red flag is the fact that he's sending this from a personal email account (a.king1970@live.com), almost any legitimate business that's hiring an insurance broker/salesman is going to be using a corporate email account.

If you haven't sent them any sort of address or real world contact information other than your name, I'd get out with the free Kindle while you still can. It just doesn't make sense, for them to be employing you without any form of personal face to face communication.

Screw the kindle, you went to be a "broker assistant"? To learn daytrading? Try working at the big banks and climbing the corporate ladder to really get to know the gurus of daytrading.

Or you could open a mini forex account like me, and learn for yourself!

Also, never trust brokers. You'll learn this when you start learning how to daytrade. Ever heard of stop hunting? It's where the big guys move millions of dollars to move the price of whatever you are trading, so that it hits your stop and then takes off like a rocket, only to come back down exactly where it was only a minute ago.

To add to 419, HyperionDreamer, and my own comments...

The off-scripting, personal email account from a free service, and grammatical errors are all pointing to something insidious. More importantly, a genuine employer that is being upfront about issues does not utilize vague/meaningless words such as "delays" to address employment issues. Also, they do not offer bonuses for these issues. A typical signing bonus is agreed to during the employment contract, and any other bonuses are performance based or attributed to holiday dividends.

It is still quite apparent to me that you are being scammed here with false promises and that the Kindle may have some seriously illegitimate baggage attached to it. It appears you have not fully checked your computer for malware as well. I suggest you download MBAM and run a full scan. If this not an attempt to 1. utilize your paypal account 2. utilize you as a mule, then it could also be 3. an attempt at identity theft as your completion of the employment contract will likely have given a plethora of personal information.

I suggest you back up important data on a portable hardrive, do a dban nuke/reformat, and contact the police about your situation as well as closely monitor your accounts for transactions.
