Scam Description

They called me with the offer of giving me interior residential homes to paint for 2years, all I needed to pay was a 2000$ plus 700$ for a 2year insurance. The 2000$ were supposed to be for any damages that could have been cause by us while we were working on their properties and would be deducted from the 2000$, the 2000$ would be refundable after the 2years if no damages were done. They sent me a contract through email that specified specify all of the above among other things related to work. They stopped answering my phone calls for weeks and once I got a hold of them they said that one of their employees made mistakes on my contract and insurance policy etc. so they needed another 500$ to proceed and that if I wanted to cancel the contract it would be around 470$ or so.
