I responded to an ad for a Personal/Administrative Assistant this morning (Saturday) when it appeared in my job search feed. By this evening, I received information similar to what I have been reading here; the position has been filled but another individual is looking for a Personal/Admin Asst. I was given a name and an e-mail address. Thinking it was rather odd that I could apply for a job on a Saturday morning and receive a response by Saturday evening, I decided to do some digging. That's when I came across this information. While I never received a phone call from the phone number listed, I did receive information somewhat identical to what some of you have posted. A name given to me was the same as one of the names posted here. I appreciate you guys posting this information. I've been regularly checking on what I thought was a reputable job search site (this is in conjunction with my local newspaper) but now I have to wonder. I'll next reach out to the police. Thanks again!
Omg, I applied to a caregiver job in Bakersfield news paper, but I didn't send resume just my name and email and phone number the person said ( his name is Marcus Cage) the position is filled but Louis Studdan is interesting hiring a personal assist, guess what, I got to search that name it does exist but died. Those scammers need to be shot in the head or hang them as for I'm concern...... I'm with you we need a law to protect people like us, and catch these scammers and put them in prison without parole.
Now using the name Marcus Cage. Thanks to all who reported this and saved me the trouble of going through all the motions until something smelled bad to me.
