Legit or Scam?

Hello, I have posted my resume on several recruiting sites and out of the blue I received an email from a company called Pinnacle that reads like a job offer. At then end it says if you are interested in the position you can request additional information. So out of curiosity I did. Two days later I received a full job description and a FAQ document. It explains the position is a Staffing Coordinator, which is a remote position and they supply 3 weeks paid training and then if you are selected to become a full time employee they will provide equipment, benefits. Call me skeptical or paranoid, but do you think this is a legitimate company/opportunity or do you think it's a scam as a why to collect personal data?

I can't help you with specific information other than the old adage, if it's too good to be true, be warned. I would do a google search on the company and the person you are emailing with. I did a quick google search and there was one spam posting about a company called Pinnacle Consulting, there are plenty of job posting from a company called Pinnacle Staffing (which could be spam job posting) and bunch of real jobs from multiple companies with Pinnacle in their name .

Thanks Barb, my thoughts exactly! I did find the HR Manager/Company on LinkedIn. I may take it another step forward, but my guess is it's a churn job if it is legit :)
