I hope nothing comes of this. I sent a resume with my phone number, date of birth, and address. Also, I filled out the credit report. I started looking for the alias Terry Long to figure out what company he/she worked for, and I stumbled accross this site. I am very nervous and I hope he/she can not obtain any information I have filled out. Please arn EVERYONE about this person. The ad was pn Pittsburgh Craigslist for a warehouse worker.
I just received the same type of email for a position I applied for and am SO glad I Googled Jason Davis Craigs List to see all the bad reports on him. The email he sent me was:
Thank you for the interested in the job opening. When would you be able to come in for an informal interview? If you have a printed resume available can you please have that ready, a printed credit report (I have provided a link below) and a valid driver's license or photo ID. When you have everything prepared get in touch with me with a date when you would be able to come in. (link was here)
This was for a graphics designer/prepress/mail data tech person in Ctrl MN. I did not click the link.
i'm done looking for jobs on craigslist. This is the 2nd time some one has tried to scam me. The 1st time the job was for a secret shopper position, the "company" mailed me a check for $300 and I was supposed to report back to them about the customer service at a business where you wire money to people. i was supposed to wire them back 1/2 the money, and keep the other 150 as my payment...
after googling that company i found out that the bank would find out theres no such company and the 300 bucks would come out of my own checking account..
Heres my Terry Long response, for a job in Cedar Rapids, IA:
Hello,

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
