Craigslist scam job postings?

SCAM - and that is NOT from Kelly Read Craiglist's own scam warnings - the last bullet point. It's such a common scam when looking for jobs on Craigslist http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams "DO NOT SUBMIT TO CREDIT CHECKS OR BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR A JOB OR FOR HOUSING UNTIL YOU HAVE MET THE INTERVIEWER OR LANDLORD/AGENT IN PERSON." And read the FTC's warning about these fake credit report sites http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer... "You may have seen Web sites or received unsolicited email offering credit reports, sometimes for free.

Be aware that some of these online operators may not actually provide credit reports, but may be using these sites as a way to capture your personal information. From there, they may sell your information to others who may use it commit fraud, including identity theft. This is a variation on "phishing," also called "carding," a high-tech scam that uses spam or fraudulent Web sites to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, and other sensitive information."

A call to the REAL Kelly will confirm they will NEVER ask you to do this http://www.kellyservices.us/web/us/servi... Want more proof this is a scam, write back to say that you will BRING a TransUnion credit report with you to the interview. If they don't agree, it's a scam. There are criminals setting up fake credit reporting sites ONLY to steal your identity.

If you submit to this, you'll never hear anything about a job again, then 6 months from now when you try to get a car loan or mortgage you can't because someone has taken out 10 loans in your name already without your permission Employers don't ask for credit reports before they meet you - if one if required for the job they will run one AFTER they have interviewed you and want to offer you a job. Or they would ask you to bring in a report from one of the 3 credit bureaus - TransUnion, Equifax or Experian. They wouldn't ask you to go to some random website that is not one of the three credit bureaus.

Seriously, don't trust ANYTHING that comes from, Craig's List! Let me give you a brief story: I won't mention my company's name, but someone was using our logo to post jobs and when they clicked on the link, it took them to a phising site! How I found out was someone called me and told me they applied through craigslist.

In fact, that week I got two more calls. So I told my boss and he called the head-HR director about it. My point is maybe you should call your local Kelly Staffing Services directly.

If you do not have a Kelly office, then call their corporate office and ask them if they have posted anything on the website. I know Kelly Services and it's likely they would not post there. They would post on something like Careerbuilder or Snag-a-Job.

Do NOT click that credit report link -- it may be a scam as well. Most companies that do a credit check do it themselves or do it with a third-party group, but they will never ask you to do one on yourself. I also want to mention the thing in the ad about forklift operations: In most states, you need to be certified and licensed to operate a forklift.

So, this whole thing sounds fishy. Stay away from it if you can.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
