Post Title: 2 positions: Full Time Receptionist + Data Entry

Location: portland, OR

States affected: OR - oregon     WA - washington    

Notes:
This is the second time I've come across this particular scam. Again, it tries to tell you that in order to interview, you have to get a background check and credit score before contacting them again and they give you a website to go to. Thankfully, however, I think they might have been caught because when you attempt to go to the URL they give you, it redirects to Google. I have included everything below for documentation.

The original ad on Craigslist:

Portland Media Company is urgently in need of a Receptionist and data entry specialist.

Receptionist duties: answer emails, phone calls, schedule appointments, greet customers who walk into our office.

Data Entry Specialist duties: document filing, entry, copying, scanning, faxing, and book keeping.

Pay : Ranges between $30k - $40k for each position.

Interviews start tomorrow, please email your resume and contact details.


The email I received after applying for the position:

Thank you for sending your resume to me. So 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 and to comply with the US Patriot Act, we need you to get a background check. We prefer you use http://www.seagcorp.com/backgroundcheck to obtain this information as they are reliable. We have also found their reports most accurate. When you submit your information they will send you your credit score. Please email me your credit score, so we can schedule an interview. Please do not email me your credit report, as this may have private information in it. Just send me your credit score. If you have a low credit score, that will not prevent you from having an interview with us, but it does show 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! :)
