Job Scam Leads to Bitcoin ATM Request

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I was already suspicious from the jump, but I've been desperate for a job so I went through with it. Basically, the first day all I had to do was send emails to 'clients'. Then he asked for my transaction limits, which I didn't think was anything important. He then asked me to run errands in a storm, by the way, and then asked if I had a bitcoin ATM near me. I'm assuming the scam would've been to deposit or withdraw money from a bitcoin ATM, but yea, just warning anyone else this may happen to. I've blocked the person. Can anyone else confirm this is a scam so I can go ahead and file some sort of police report?
