Scammer!

Since: Thursday, October 28, 2010

Email Address: jane.ford@hertfordgroup.net

Post Title: Administrative Assistant Part Time

Location: louisville

States affected: KY - kentucky    

Notes:
Here's the email I received:

How are you Jane 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 click here 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 Wednesday,

Kind Regards,
Jane Ford- HR

Scam

I got the same e-mail in Cincinnati from her. I knew it was a scam when it said that I was more qualified than the other people who applied.... I was not qualified at all for the position, I was just going out on a limb.

I really hope people do not buy into this and send their credit reports to this person, you are just asking to have your identity stolen, any legitimate employer will not ask you to give your credit report to them, they will get one when they order a background check and this will only happen AFTER you are offered the job not before.
