Post Title: Excellent Receptionist

States affected: NC - north carolina

Notes:
How are you,it is wonderful to hear from you.

I appreciate you e-mailing us. In case the posting was not clear, the responsibilities of this position are as follows: you will be answering the phone and taking messages whenever applicable, you will be scheduling the company meetings, and running errands for the company for things such as purchasing supplies and making bank deposits (you will be provided with a company car). While you are running errands, you will also be given one of our company credit card(s) for all business purchases.

You seem definitely qualified for our job opening, and more so than the other 16 applicants we received applications from. I would like to take the next step with you. However, before I am able to schedule a formal meeting, my company will require that you acquire a recent (past 14-21 business days) credit report. We started this because our company had some bad incidents with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card.

Both myself and the company will prefer it that you use http://bit.ly/9rsC6A to acquire your check as they are offering the check at zero cost to you (unlike other places). We also discovered that their scores always report back the most factual and accurate information.

Once you submit all of the required information, they will show your personal report. Then, you need to email me the reported credit score, a phone number that you can be easily reached, and your availability schedule to arrange an interview.
I ask you to not email me the entire report, as it will have private content. If you have a lower than expected credit score, it will never prevent you from a position with us. I had a fairly low score whenever I started.

If you do not want to complete a recent credit check, unfortunately the company will require that I contact the second choice.

Personally, I am hoping to fill this position with a new friendly face and am looking forward to your quick response.

Have a fantastic Monday,

Kind Regards,
Jane Ford- HR

I let them know that I was on to them. Not that it matters. But perhaps this will help someone else be saved from the aggrivation.

MLee Aug 31, 2010	I am in the Asheville region and there was a receptionist posting on Craigslist and I got the exact same response from Miss Jane Ford. It looked fishy and when I researched her address this post is the only one I found with her name in it- Thanks!
staceyparker Sep 01, 2010	Tampa Bay Area I just got the exact same email.
hlsess Sep 01, 2010	I got the same email but didn't figure it out until I sent a credit report- surely I am ok and they can't do anything with my credit
JauntyDame Sep 01, 2010	Lehigh Valley, PA I got this too--- but being young and ignorant, I got duped. FlakeList.org, you are my new best friend.
FlakeMistress Sep 01, 2010	We're glad to have you here, Jaunty. Sorry you got trapped in this scam but now you are here and hopefully will NEVER be scammed again. Get em!!! :)
TomeGirl Sep 10, 2010	Akron, OH I just got the same email in response to a Office/Administrative assistant position I applied for.
sheagle11 Sep 10, 2010	Oak Creek WI / I just got this same email too. I'm so glad I decided to research the name online and found this site! Hello, 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, we need you to get a credit check. We prefer you use //creditreporteasy.net/special to obtain this information as they currently have a free trial. We have also found their reports most accurate. When you submit your information they will send you your credit score. When you email me your credit score, we can schedule for an interview. Please do not email me your credit report, as this may have private information in it. 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. Sincerely, John Marinakos HR Manager Park and Hendricks LLP
Robyn Sep 29, 2010	Central NY I got the same thing; I realized it was a scam because she wished me a “happy Friday” on a Tuesday. I also thought it was funny she mentioned her credit was bad, which was really professional!
bk1187 Nov 05, 2010	Tucson AZ I received the same email when replying to a data entry position here, so I replied with: "Jane, Thank you for getting back to me so soon. I've uploaded a screenshot of my credit score at (shortened link to this page). I look forward to hearing back from you" I wonder if whoever this is will finally realize people aren't going to fall for the exact same email over and over.
