Is this a job scam or not?

I was applied for a job at a location near me, and found that job on craiglist. They sent me an email regarding the job, and I almost definitely think it’s a scam (not sure). I would like the opinion of other people to see if others think the same as I.

renowned authority in his field, whom Time Magazine recently named;

division.
I did not call the number, but after rereading the email I noticed how the scammer trys to promote itself by saying "The worlds most famous doctor buys our crap"

It’s a scam

Mike Fick is a well known drummer, not some marketing guru, although it is possible there are two of them.

There are very few legitimate jobs on craigslist, some, but nor many.

Have a look through this forum http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34 and if any of the scam criteria fit or match, it is a scam

Good luck with finding employment, but I doubt that this is a legitimate job.
