Type of a scam Employment

I initially applied for a Office Assistant position at the University of America on the indeed website. A couple of day later I received a email stating that the position was filled internally but their associate was recruiting for a similar position and if interested I should email my resume, which I did. I then received an email a few days later advising of the role which was very far fetched. Stating that she was a 65 year old retired real estate attorney. That still invests from time to time in real estate. She stated that she was very busy with entrepreneur work so I would be like a PA making calls booking flights, running errands that she would send funds to cover. She stated the wage would be $720 per week regardless of the amount of hours worked. She also stated I could choose my own hours and that job would include 401K, benefits and paid time off! I immediately contacted the University of America and they advised me that the position was never posted and they did not have a copy of an application from me.
