Got the exact same email from job posting on same C-List. My red flag was that I tried to respond to the email that I have to pull out of interview due to new surgery date and the email I sent bounced back - twice. So I made the phone call to the number posted. Yep, I am an idiot ! Got a voice mail from WCPS???? Googled them and Taylor- nada ! This is the second one this weekend. Think I better stay away from C-List for a while. Thanks for this service however. Stopped me from making a bigger fool of myself than I already feel like I am.
I replied to a craigslist posting offering a job. When I got a reply back they gave me a sorry excuse as to why they can't accept resumes directly. Then they directed me to a website to fill out an application.
I'm glad I googled it and found your comments! I won't be following up to this e-mail.
Credit checks are only done after a formal interview, because the company pays for them. In addition, its a federal law that you don't have provide your social security number on a job application.
Yep. It looks like a scam. Here's the e-mail I received.

Is anything posted on CraigsList for real? This is obviously another scam. Any time they ask for a credit report...before the interview is bad news. I'm glad I found this site. We would be great as detectives just trying to figure out who is legitimate. Good luck everyone.
