Receptionist/Front Desk---Personal Assistant Position SCAM
Fri, 2013/03/01 - 07:59that email with Joel Glauser! I JUST got the exact same one! the wording is very close to copy-paste! right down to the left side of page formatting!
the only changes in mine were it said the job was a "Receptionist/Front Desk", he had a family of 2, the job paid $435 per week, and it didnt ask for Current Job.
i found this "job" on CRAIGSLIST which at the time sounded like it was okay, so i sent my resume as requested. (that was yesterday morning)
then i get the reply email just a few minutes ago... I was like, 'i did NOT want a P.A. position! what the hey? especially when that was NOT what i had applied for!' then i thought about how sketchy this whole thing sounded and i had my roomate read the email. She told me to stick the name into google and immediately found myself here! SCAMS! FRAUDS! oh and i just went back to Craigslist to check their page again, just in case i had misread something that said it was a Personal Assistant job... the page was already taken down! GONE! now is that not creepy?
So I thought i'd give my thanks to this site and add in my version of this scam!
