Scam Description

I got the email attached, but the address it came from was vladimirchikanov123@gmail.com. It seemed enough like something I could be hired for that I gave further contact info, before I noticed the address it was coming from, one of the things I normally do first!
They responded with an email that has attachments I am supposed to sign and send back. That seemed weird to be doing so soon, so I finally noticed the gmail address I should have seen before.
P>>>> J>>>> (signature name). Asked that I add an external bank account (clients) to my Bank of America account (was very specific that it was a BOA account) so that I could receive weekly deposits of $3,000 to $5,000 to be wired to the companies (Ross Farm Machinery Ltd.) account. I responded that I would not do this. She advised that I could open a free WISE account and told me once I am registered to add the “client’s” account to that account; I would still need to have funds wired to my personal BOA account.
I entertained the idea in order to get as much information about the scam as possible.
