Add another number to his profile, I responded to an add, had same reply from him "Respectfully,Kevin Hodges Hiring Manager Cell: 323.282.3563". The company in the ad is out of Oregon with other names & locations throughout the US. The phone number, unpublished, is out of Los Angeles, CA. Sounds like this guy has been busy!
i got the same as everyone is listing above. im going to try and follow this deeper into investigation and try and set up an appointment and see if can meet him face to face.. lets hope hes got backup. people like him are scum of the earth trying to rip of innocent people looking for jobs.
Yeah, I feel for the craigslist ad also. The script follows: Must have changed numbers to avoid the google search results. I'll ignore it now...
Hi,
Thank you I received your email and I'm sure we can work something out.
When would you be available to meet for an interview? There's a couple perks of the job I'm sure you'll appreciate, company cell phones is one of the main things. If you're available sometime soon call me during the day please. Also if you have your resume printed out please have that available and also credit report printed out - freecredsreport.com would suffice and is free - having both of these will help speed up the process on my end. Please don't forget to bring some form of identification as well. Oh and bad credit won't negatively hurt your chances for the job, so don't worry about that if that's the case.
Respectfully,
Kevin Hodges

Today i also received a response from Michelle Parker at YLD Corp for another job with the same type of response and that appears to be fishy. She is on some FLakelist.
So what is the scam? freecredsreport.com is not a site i can find. Is this identity theft? Why would someone go to this length to advertise and tease people with a false job? The only thing he has now is a my email address. I wonder if i tell him a fake credit score that he will ask for SS#? I don't understand the scam.
There is a Kevin Hodges in Los Angeles, Ca. on face book. But the notes here say he is contacting others from around the states, how are we gong to meet? Does he just want my phone number? That's stupid. I wonder if someone is using this persons name as a joke on him.
Maybe he will get to the personal info from the cell phone perk? These people are not as smart as me, they are just horrible people who should publicly executed or given a higher dose of medication. SERIOUSLY, i am so tired of being led here and there with false hopes of employment, crooked politicians and others who put in hidden reoccurring monthly charges to finance their million dollar corps.
Where are the really crazy snipers when you need them?
With the exception of being disappointed right now, i am generally a well mannered person who just wants a job!
I am going to go back to looking for a job and just move on. Good Luck in your personal search for employment.
I am in Iowa and I got the same email from this guy. Thanks for all you guys wrote, I was going to call him but now I wont. I wish that they would research these adds more before just letting them post. Well thank you again and I hope you all have a great hoilday season.
