Job offer that was concerning to me

Hello All,  I am new to the (odesk). 

Can you please tell me if this sound strange to you all.  I have applied for a Data Entry position.  I was contacted via Odesk Email the other day and was told that they needed my msn or yahoo messenger, as I want to get you to start working really fast. 

I am not sure how interviews are conducted once you are offered a positions, I have sent this information in the same day.  The very next day I get a email via Odesk stating that I was not chosen for the position.   Then the next day I noticed that the person was online and I decided to speak with them via messenger and ask if they received my information? (just a test to them).  I was told some concerning information, this job is confidential and I need to have a copy of your passport before we could get started.  I then asked what did the job require me to  and what type of information would be provided to me?  Would this be entered into a spread sheet, well the answer was yes. 

Then came the concerning question, did I have a verified PP account.  Here goes,  I need you PP account information so that we could place money into it from our company and you will receive 5% of what is being deposited.  So I then asked this question you just need my account to put money in to do what with it.  I was told just to deposit.  I then asked I thought that this was a position for Data Entry, I was told that the Data Entry portion will come later at a pay rate of $4 hourly. 

Please any comments or thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you all in advance
