Scammer!

Since: Monday, October 11, 2010

Email Address: mrawlins@hire-help.com

Post Title: Admin Type Job

Location: richmond

States affected: VA - virginia    

Notes:
Another great letter telling me about my wonderful qualifications which when investigated is just another scam.

This letter seemed more legit than most but the links for pre-employment testing link to a site that is well known for scamming JOBDIAGNOSIS.COM which exists to collect information for telemarketing.

Received this Email as well

Same letter - WORD FOR WORD - arrived in my inbox within the past 24 hours.

You are correct in that this letter is much more polished and professional sounding that many scam letters.

Also Received this Email

I too received this email from mrawlins@hire-help.com verbatim, thanks to this site I confirmed that it was a scam. I'm curious as to how they got my email address, I figure they must scan through job search sites where people may have uploaded their profiles and are legitimately looking for employment.

Still Active

This is still active. Except for the formatting (like list numbers), the e-mail I received today is identical to the one posted here.

NOTE: This is not the only "firm" sending me scams since posting my resume online.

Same email in PA

I received the same letter in an email address that I have not recently been using for job applications. I was skeptical and I am glad I checked flakelist.org first.

11/20 Got the exact same email. They must be checking some of the internet job boards. I know I have gotten lots of spammers, similar letters, etc. from MONSTER.COM. Beware!

I am not on Craig's list. Sad - Sad - Sad -

Change your name to initials or something very clear to you and see what happens - that way you will know where it is coming from!
