Purchasing Manager Wilma Caton Job Scam

Posted on 07:02 by Unknown
Here's another spam/job scam email I received supposedly from Beyond.com. Beyond is another one of those job sites, in my view that offer you positions but they don't really exist. What Beyond.com really wants you to do is return to school so they can market your interest to other companies.

A few comments if I may...

I wonder why you must be over 21 years of age. I think if you can fall for a scam you can do that at even as young as 16 years of age.

I really do like the quote, "We are keen to hear from talented individuals with proven experience in sales or marketing and ready to offer a brilliant development program for the right candidate."

If it was a real job it sounds very interested and in line with my experience. But sadly it's not.

What do you think?

P.S. I still monitor posts because of spam I approve posts even if I don't agree with the content. If you attack me personally more than likely I won't post your snarky behavior because I don't see the point.

Have a good week and weekend coming up!!

Vatra L AG Regional Executive Job Scam

Posted on 05:35 by Unknown
Below is another job referencing to a resume found of mine on Career Builder. One immediate red flag is I don't have a resume posted on career builder. And other red flags should include the salary and the silly email addresses created for the purposes of replies to this email job scam.

The reply to the email goes to thorpebrilliant@yahoo.com, and thorpebrilliant@yahoo.com but the email states to apply using the email of vatral.ag@live.com. And while I know it's a scam, why do they do that? I've replied "with great desire to work for the company" to find out more details...so maybe we will hear back. Or anyone else please feel free to comment.

Have a good week ahead!
