CareerBuilder & Job Scams

Visas, Permits, Passports and Naturalization

Hi,

my GF is looking for a job and yesterday she received 'strange' job offer from a guy 'Kevin Frayne' from e-mail '[email protected]'. I was very suspicious and check it on-line. I found out that it was a scam - trying to pull money out of people searching for jobs

So beware... my GF registered with quite a lot of agencies , one of them was also CareerBuilder - obviously they found her in their database.

Links I've found:

Original e-mail she received:

Hi,

I'm in England, and I got exactly the same email, but the subject was: Job Proposal (jobsite.co.uk)

I have reported this to google, if it doesn't any good is another matter:

Just trying to help

I got one of those this morning. I Googled the address as I was sure it was a scam and one of the hits was this thread. I registered on Jobsite recently and suspect that in this case this is where my info was obtained.

Hello,

But nobody is saying how they are scamming you or what the scam is.

All they have asked for is a CV where presumably they could have obtained 90% of the info already from the website where you posted it.

This must be the first stage.

What happens next??

Regards

John

Thanks for reporting this.

I'd dare to say, no need to search around too much for a possible scam, when the HR department of Modern LTD has an email account on gmail

It looks like you end up becoming a mule for money laundering/stolen money.

This could lead to financial loss, and quite possibly a criminal record for those that are "scammed"

Hi,

this was obviously the trigger also for me

I had the same kind of email at least once a month, it's normally very suspicious but they sent something like this to my father (who recently lost his job and is looking for a new one) and he is not used to this sort of scams, so I had to warn him. He just couldn't understand why someone would do something like this
