I received the following E-mail, and it just did not sound right. I did open the IQ link and knew it was BULL.
Looks like they are using a different version of their company name, and they do have a very professional web site under that name, but no contact telephone numbers listed on the web site.
Hello (name), it is great to hear from you.
I appreciate you e-mailing us.
Job requires: Excellent written/oral communication skills to perform administrative tasks such as answering phones and taking messages, preparing mailings, the order and maintenance of supply quantities, copy work, general filing and e-mailing, and typing. We will give more specific details at our interview.
Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Can be flexible if required)
Pay for this Position: 13 - 15 an hour (we will decide final salary after interview based from experience)
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life/disability insurance, tuition reimbursement after 12 months, sick and vacation time and 401k.
The selection process is almost done. Porden only asks for you to complete a simple IQ(Intelligence Quotient) quiz to give the HR Manager.

Reply with your results and an availability time to set-up an interview. My availability time would be from 7 to 10 in the morning or 3 to 4 PM.
Honestly, I am hoping to fill this position with a friendly face and looking to your quick response.
look out of Pordens LLC. I just read this post and thankfully prevented myself from signing up for the credit report. I have seen this kind of trash before.
Thank you everyone for the heads up. I just received this e-mail on Friday, the phone # is disconnected.
I have been looking for a job and this sounded appealing, I'm glad I checked it out
You are extremely qualified for our job position, and more so than the other 15 applicants I have received e-mails from. I would like to find an available time to set up the next step with you. However, before I am able to set up an interview, our company requires that you obtain a recent(past 15-20 business days) credit report. We started requiring this because our company had a couple bad encounters with prior employees taking advantage of us.

If you don't want to complete a recent credit check, unfortunately I will need to meet with the second choice.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday,

I received the same email but with a different name. Courtney Henry. Same phone number but different fax number. Wish there was some way to stop all these scams. It's hard enough to find a job these days without having to worry about things like this.
