I got the exact email as Samantha above. I guess I should have listened to my instincts when I tried to Google their address and it just showed me cross streets. What will they do with my address and name? I got my credit score through creditreport.com (the link they sent me) which I've been signed up before. How could they steal my identity through my score? Whatever the case that's really messed up using people like this. Good luck with my identity, I got $15 a day to live off of.

I sent my resume to a job posting on Craigslist. I should have trusted myself in not looking for jobs on Craigslist, due to the scams, but I really need one. Well I sent my resume for one and I got the following message. Do they really think I am stupid? I have already gotten my identity stolen once before. I can't deal with that again. People really watch out. People are ridiculous now a days and will do anything.

Hello nykia,

I appreciate you e mailing us and taking the time to send in your resume. Just in case the posting was not clear, the duties of this position are as follows:

-You will be answering telephone calls and logging messages whenever applicable.
-You will be scheduling the company group meetings, and running errands for the company for things such as purchasing supplies and making bank deposits (you will be supplied a company car during business hours).
-While you are running errands, you will also be given use of one of our company credit card(s) for all business purchases.

You seem more than qualified for our open position and more so than the other 22 applicants we accepted resumes from. I am interested in taking the next step with you. However, before I am able to schedule a final interview, my company will require that you obtain a up to date (past 25 days) credit score. We have started this because unfortunately our company has had several bad incidents with prior employees taking advantage of having access to our company credit card.

Both the HR department and I will prefer that you utilize this site to obtain your score as this site is offering the check at zero cost for the score(unlike other sites). We also found that their scores constantly report back the most factual and accurate information, and they are one of the most reliable trusted sources on the internet.

After you submit all of the needed information, the website will present to you your unobjective score. Then, you need to email me the reported credit score (the number only), a telephone number that you can be easily reached, and your availability schedule to arrange an interview. I ask you to not email me the total readout, as it will have confidential subject matter. If you carry a lower than expected credit score, it will never prevent you from obtaining a position with us. I had a reasonably low score when I began working here and I never had an issue. If you do not want to complete a up to date credit score, unfortunately the company will require that I move on to the second choice.

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

Have a great Friday.

OMG! I just recieved an e-mail from GRC-MANAGEMENT.COM on craigslist about a job posting I sent my resume too! THANK GOD I always investigate the job opportunities before I reply back. I knew something was fishy about this email from AMANDA HR RESOURCES when she sent me an email which sounded convincing until she asked to check my CREDIT SCORE on a link attached!!! So I did some research I went on their website which was stated on their email. The website looked legit until I googled it and looked it up on the yellow pages and NOTHING came up, so next step I called the number they had listed in the email which had a voicemail setup as a man saying due to the large amount of resumes they recieve to just follow the instructions from the email sent to you, NOT EVEN A REAL VOICEMAIL TO ACTUALLY LEAVE A MESSAGE !! THEN LAST I GOOGLED THERE PHONE NUMBER 650-762-5607 AND I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE ABOUT THE SCAMS OUT THERE ON THESE PARTICULAR CON ARTIST COMPANIES! I'm glad I did investigate because I found out they really were a scam before I took any further steps!! AND I HOPE THEY GET CAUGHT FOR THERE DIRTBAG SCAM!!   PLEASE I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE SEE THIS WEBSITE TOO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

I too found this job posting on Craigslist. I too got the same e-mail from Amanda. This is very wrong to do this to people like us looking for a job. I hope they get caught.

This is the e-mail I got just this morning (10/20/10 @11:20am). I applied to a job posting on Craigslist for a Receptionist position.

The link took me to FreeScore360.com to obtian my credit score. I filled in my info and it took me to CreditDiagnosis.com

I was asked to input my credit card to pay the $1 "refundable" fee. So I did, but never obtained my score because an error code appeared: "Internal Server Error: Site Temporarily Down for Maintainance"

It gave me toll free number 1-800-379-5036 to terminate my CreditDiagnosis membership within 7 days. I just called (10/20/10 @4:17pm) and spoke to a representative and got a confirmation of termination code and the representative's name. The representative assured me that I would not be billed in any way, shape, or form.

I was not asked to take an IQ test or enter my cell phone number at any time.

If I hear back from this Amanda Elliot, I will be sure to post her reply on this board here.
