Hello,
We have reviewed over 10 applications and we have narrowed our selection down to five. Congratulations, you are one of the five applicants we would like to interview by the end of next week! We have two positions open.
Job will require: Excellent written and oral communication skills to perform general administrative duties including answering phones and taking messages, preparing mailings, ordering and maintaining supplies, copy work, filing, emailing, and typing correspondence. We will give more specific details at the interview.
Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (We can make hours flexible if necessary).
Pay: $13 - $16 an hour (we will decide final salary after interview based on experience)
Benefits Package: Medical, dental, vision, disability/life insurance, tuition reimbursement, flex medical spending plan, vacation/sick days and 401K
The position will require you to work in a high financial environment so it's our corporate policy that we do a financial verification check on all employees to verify applicant registration info. Its corporate policy that we have applicants sent through our link so we are compliant with the U.S employment standards act. Please copy and paste this link into your browser and complete the free report now: http://mediamanagment.info?id=915654e133. Fill out the form and indicate that you want the free report. PLEASE DO NOT email us your report. Instead print it out and bring a copy to the interview as we will need to have it on file. Since this is just a pre-screen formality your actual score will not affect your chances of being hired. Please take a few minutes to do this now.
After completing the score report please reply stating:
-The best time for us to hold the interview. Morning (8-12) or evening (1-5)
-2 references for us to contact should we feel the need too.
-The account reference number you received after you completed the credit check (we will cross-check with our records at the interview).
I will call and confirm your interview upon completion of the above. If you are no longer looking for employment please respond with your name and 'not interested' in the subject field so I can better shuffle through all the mail I get and take you off the applicant list. Once again, thank you for your interest in the position. Please remember to complete the credit request above now and reply with the best time to hold the interview.
Sincerely,
Sarah Johnson

MY EMAIL:
Dear Sarah,
I am available Morning (8-12) or evening (1-5) for an interview. Can we please schedule an interview and go from there?
I am so sorry, but I just began going through the process of getting my credit score to print it out at your request and I am now uncomfortable with this process, as I have had to enter my credit card number in one site for $1 refundable transaction. It has now sent me to a couple of other sites and is talking about verifying my social security number and now I am very uneasy. I also don't know the name, phone number nor address of your business nor is their one in your signature. I certainly hope you can appreciate my position and hesitation. I assure you my credit score is good, as I have obtained it in July and it was 723, I can bring in that paperwork. Will this suffice?
Thank you so much for your consideration and understanding,
-my name and phone number (were here)

I will just ad the info here.......
The link in the email above, which is now a dead link, took me to a place to enter in my cc# for a $1 refundable fee to obtain my FREE credit score. I was routed to 2 other websites eventually landing at Credit Diagnosis. I was eventually told I would need to enter in my ss# to verify my identity, I stopped here. I have ordered a new debit card also. BUT after all was said and done I had already blindly signed up for a $30 monthly service (for which I called and canceled immediately): NOTE: I had to read a super long email from them to catch this 1 paragraph: "So take advantage of your Credit Diagnosis benefits during your 7-day trial membership period. We invite you to use our services for the full 7-day trial period. If within 7 days you don't feel that our services and benefits are everything we say they are, simply call us toll-free at 888-530-2890 to cancel your membership. Credit Diagnosis will automatically charge/debit the $29.95 membership fee to your card on 8/25/2010 and, unless you call to cancel, on or about the same date for each new membership month." |

Yea they are sneaky with those added itty bitty "paragraphs". Sometimes I wonder why the actual credit reporting companies that these scammers are linking too don't also get in trouble with the government. TO me it seems they are just as guilty. |
