How these scams work are two fold - one is it is a way for a scammer, under the guise of being an "employer" will collect all kind of inappropriate information, and then use that information to steal your identity. They often ask for your credit card number and then use that to run other scams and purchase stolen goods. Finally, they will scam you out of money, by either asking you to forward payments they've received to other places (asking you to deposit checks, which are fake, and then you forward your money, which is good) or, as mentioned below, telling you that you'll receive funds for doing the shopping - and those funds will be fake money (and typically they will send too much money and ask you to send the rest back to them, using your GOOD money), all via wire transfer which is untraceable once the scammer picks the money up.
