Is this job ad Fake?
I would like to apply but it doesn't say the company name or where exactly it's located. This is from craigslist. I was thinking maybe i could just send some type of email/letter of interest to them without giving out all of my personal information first. But would exactly should I put in the email? Below is the ad posting

Front Desk ADM/Receptionist
We are a very busy Boarding/Daycare & grooming facility. We are looking for a Detailed/ multitasker who has exceptional customer skills both on the phone and dealing with customers in person. Someone who has an outgoing & friendly personality. A love of animals is a must. We have a fast paced environment most of the time so, being able to function in that environment is a must. We are looking for someone 5 days a week 7-4 Monday - saturday. We prefer someone who is available Saturday and take one day off during the week or at least 2 saturdays a month, You will deal with customers, vendors, employees & Vet offices.

Ah realized I forgot to put in why I thought it was fake! This one says salary is dependent on experience but there were 2 other postings of this one said $14/hr and the other $14.50/hr. And excel is spelled wrong as well as dependent, they said pls instead of please.

We are not psychic, but there aren't the normal red flags like poor English, working from home, etc.

Send them an email telling them you're interested in the position but have a few questions first. Ask them about where in town the business is located, how many animals they work with, if there are any benefits. Mostly questions about their business in general. If you get a response it's real, if they don't respond then it was fake.
