I am confused about what to do....I applied for the position of Administrative assistant with mustang PC ltd from yahoo hotjobs, does yahoo do ?
No, Yahoo Hotjobs does not do a background check on companies that post a job opening on their site.



Mustang PC Ltd appears to be a scam of some kind. No legitimate company does business in the manner that they describe.



If I were you, I'd just ignore this job offer as it is highly questionable.
