I have reviewed your resume and I feel that your experience would serve you well in this position should you be chosen to work with us.

I would like to schedule an interview with you this week if possible. We will be conducting interviews within the next 4 to 5 business days. Please note that our company requires all potential employees to have a credit score on file for your interview. We ask for this because you will have access to company credit cards for business expenses. You also will be given petty cash and will be passed access to the expense accounts. We request that each likely employee complete this as this ensures us that our future employee is credible, trustworthy and can be an asset of the company.

Please also note that because of the recent economy we take in to consideration that there may be some blemishes on a large portion of applicant scores. Rest assured that our hiring will not be dependent strictly on a per score basis.

Please complete and print your credit score from this Link You will need to bring a copy with you to your interview. This credit score costs you nothing and is completely secure from the most trusted credit score website online.

Please complete this first step ASAP as we only have 48 hours to set up interviews. When you have completed the credit score reply to this email and we will set a time for an interview. You will be interviewing with Elizabeth Moore, our staffing manager.

Congratulations on becoming a candidate for our company!

I look forward to meeting with you.

I received this reply regarding a position I applied to on Craigslist. I was excited when I first started reading it but when it got to the part where I am supposed to print out a copy of my credit report and bring it with me to an interview I became very skeptical. Something made me want to check the name of the company on google and when I did I only saw it on the flake list reported by someone who received the same email reply. So I am now reporting this on the flake list. I have been replying to many jobs on craigslist and so far I have been getting replys asking me to do take aptitude tests where I am actually ordering a laptop, to order and pay for my own background check and to print out my credit report. I would tell everyone to please be careful of the information and jobs that you find on craigslist. We all know how the typical process of finding a job works and when you see all this crazy stuff asking you to set up accounts on paypal and order products then try to get more information about the company first!
