I responded to a job posting on Craigslist and got this exact response back. I filled out the credit report and haven't heard a thing back.

I went to cancel the account because I didn't want my credit card charged after the "free trial" was over and the link was dead. I did a Google search on the company name and found this posting. Boy do I feel like a moron!

I'm worried because I entered my debit card info onto this site. So far no activity but my husband is at the bank changing all of our info just in case.

Thanks for posting this!

I got this same email back like 40 times from Craigslist. I've been searching for over a month and I've had NO leads whatsoever. Do not use Craigslist and NEVER give them your credit information unless you talk to them on the phone first.

I replied to an ad for a Secretary in York, PA on Craigslist. Got the same letter in return. So glad I did a search and found this site before submitting any of my info!

This letter came from email address: [Pegjerkins160@yahoo.com]

"Hello,

Thank you for sending your resume to me. I've read it over and think you're a perfect candidate.

So that the job responsibilities are clear, you will be answering the phone, scheduling meetings, and running company errands such as buying office supplies and making bank deposits in a company car. When running errands you will be provided with a company credit card to make supply purchases, etc.

We have had some bad experiences with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card in the past, so before we can schedule an interview, we need you to get a credit check. If you have a report dated within the last two weeks this will be fine, otherwise we prefer you use http://gofreereports.net to obtain this information.

We have found their reports most accurate as they check your score against all three bureaus.

When you submit your information they will send you your credit score, then when you email me your score we can schedule for an interview.

Please do not email me your credit report as it may contain private information in it.

If you have a low credit score that will not prevent you from having an interview with us, however in the case that it is a good score it shows us that you are trustworthy and responsible.

Please send me your schedule with availability for an interview along with your credit score.

I am looking forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Paris Conwill

HR Manager

Park and Hendricks LLP"
