Who called from 3122123956

I applied for a job posting on craigslist houston and received a reply from Terry Long of Mailstoday.com..."Terry's" reply used the same wording that appears in the replies that others have posted here....It is an obvious scam to be avoided...Don't know if they steal your personal info if you fall for their "free credit report" link, or if they get paid to send people to that link...Either way, the only job it's about is a screw job....

Here is "Terry Long's" reply to me:

Hi  again  I  am  ready  to  meet  up when you are.  Have you gathered
everything   we  need  to  proceed?   Drivers  license,  credit report
bestshortlink.com/c5yav and if possible a printed resume.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Just wanted to add that I decided to write back to "Terry" and let him know that I found out that he is scamming people. It may not accomplish anything, but I felt the need to speak the truth to him, anyway. Here is my reply:

Terry, or whatever your real name is, I just found out that you and your organization are scamming people. So what is the deal? Are you stealing applicant's personal info when they fill out the form on the "free credit report" link you provide, then using it for identity fraud? Or do you get paid to send people to that link?

It's a very tough job market out there, as I'm sure you know. A lot of people are hurting financially. I know because I am one. It is very sad and despicable for you and your co-conspirators to build up job applicants' hope, pretending that your company may be interested in hiring them.

Only a bunch of low-life creeps would prey on people the way you guys are doing. Join the rest of us, "Terry" or whatever your real name is...get out and get a REAL job making honest money!!

Their still at it again. I got the same message too. From Jason Davis for a Construction Laborer job. Seattle area. I did not call nor did I get a call, but I decided to google his cell number, because I never heard of a (312) area code around here, and I found this site. Good thing to find out, I got suspicious from them asking a credit report. Did research and people say the company gets the consumer report themselves and/or gets it After an interview. I will post an ad up on Craigslist warning others about Json/Terry. Some people. Be careful out there.

Here's their ad on CL: Don't even e-mail them or even click on their link to their credit report site.
