Excellent opportunity with benefits. Computer billing skills required. $14 to $16 per hour DOE. Contact HR Department at (855) 357-6311.

is a scam. They recommend that if you have contacted this phone number, you call your local police.

It's pretty obvious when they advertise jobs here located in "Western Slope". Yeah, I'm going to answer ads for admin assistants covering the western half of the state of Colorado. I can commute eight hours each way no problem.
