I replied to a job opportunity on Craigslist a few days ago. Today I received an email that read: "Hi, My name is Kendall, I am the HR Manager. You've recently sent us your resume, and I am excited to let you know that I think you are an awesome candidate! GUT Property Management is an established company with about 30 years of experience in the market. We offer benefits for you and your family and very competitive compensation. It will be all discussed during the interview. Each applicant is required to fill out our application in order to schedule an interview. Please do it ASAP, so we can move on with the process. It can be found on our site: ------------------------------------ gutprmgt.org/application/ ------------------------------------ There is a personal application code required to fill the application. Your code is: SStlKYKMu4B Please let me know once you are done. If you don't contact me by tomorrow I'll assume that you are not interested in the job, and I'll go on to the next candidate. I look forward to seeing you on interview.

There is nothing. So I went to the website, and it has you go to a specific link and imput a code for the application process. I decided to check it out. It asks a lot of weird questions and then requires you to go to a link and get your credit score, and bring it with you to interview. I have never been required to do that for a job! It also claims the reason you have to is that they issue company cards. For a client support representative, there is no need to have a company card! Anyway, it routes you to "searchmyscores.com" I stopped at that point. It screams "steal my identity". I wanted others out there who may be job hunting to be aware of this. Thanks! |
