Just hung up the phone with Maggie Nicholson. Called from 347-926-7119. She said she is recruiter. PLease come meet my Manager on Monday at 10:00 when I said this is not the position I am looking for she said "well can you come down and see what this is about" When I said good bye she sounded annoyed and rushed off the phone. I could not catch the name is the insurance company she mentioned when I called back to ask her for the name she did not pick up. Weird….I don't understand how this scam works.
I got a call from this number today and i decided to google it and see what it was about. The name on the caller id was Pnina Lashevski, but from the posts here I see that the company is Consesco so I did a search for that name and got this site http://www.conseco.com/wsc/. I clicked the career's button and it seems that they do hire people in different states. I did not call back because I am not interested in selling insurance and I stated on my Monster profile that I would liked to be contacted by email. If this company is really looking for workers then they should have someone that is a bit more professional making the phone calls because after reading some of the above comments, I see that this is not the case.
Same thing with me: Woman with the worst command of English called me (that is the real red-flag because a legitimate company wouldn't have someone on the phones sounding like a zombie on acid). She said her name is Chacy. She arranged for an interview at 36 Richmond Terrace on Staten Island on Monday, June 27, 2011. I'm to bring my resume with me. No mention of job description or job requirements. Going to SI is a bit of a trek so...shouldn't we talk first?! I didn't want to get to this office only to find that they'll be paying just $9/hr or need someone who has excellent PowerPoint skills (thus, leaving me out of consideration).
Thanks to all of you for keeping others informed. I just left this supposed office a message telling them what I thought of them wasting my time the way they did, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Note: Don't put your real name on your Monster.com profile or your address and if you get job offers asking for personal, valuable information (i.e., soc. sec. number, etc.) just tell 'em off. When you get a real offer from a legitimate company, give them a copy in person of your real résumé and explain why the discrepancy, and they'll understand.
I was then called by Ms. Blake, I think, for a job as an agent. I am going to meet with them on same day, June 27th @ 10AM. I will inform you all guys what will happen next.
