Received a call moments ago, told me about a contract position in the Chicagoland area, asked for my date of birth then the last four digits of my ss#. I asked what they needed it for, she couldn't answer, I said well I can't give that personal info to you. Right then and there, thought, oh here we go, scam! Recruiters here in Chicago don't even ask for that type of personal information until they hire you full time, but you have to go into the office and fill out paperwork, at least you know they're legit. They wanted to offer me $26 an hour for Public relations, I told them I am not experienced in PR but they continued to push. I told them to send me a job description so that I can review, she stated that she already sent it. I look at my email and nothing, go figure... I look up this number and what do you know lots of others with complaints from this "recruiter".
A MAN WITH A THICK ACCENT KEEPS CALLING MY CELL ASKING FOR AN AMY, TO TELL HER SHE HAS A POSITION, AT FIRST ENERGY?? I STARTED TO CALL BACK, TO SAY WRONG NUMBER, BUT AFTER I READ THESE COMMENTS, I WONT, ALSO YOUR BDAY, AND 4 SOCIAL, IS PERTINENT INFO,NEVER GIVE OUT TO STRANGERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLIES!
Thanks for the info everyone! I got a call from this number and I called it back. I was only able to speak to the operator who barely spoke any English. She was unhelpful and she hung up. I'm glad I found this site!! I am from Michigan and I couldn't understand why someone from New Jersey would be calling for me! I am tired of people being preyed upon because they are looking for work!!!!!
Ditto..they called yesterday on my cell, leaving a message to call back (barely understandable English) regarding employment stating they are Staffing Agency.....called back as I have been looking for work...asked for DOB, last 4 of SSN (which I provided), desperate for work....now thinking/realizing it's fraudulent attempt to get my personal information. Now need to report problem to Consumer Affairs????
This company is STILL working their scam trying to get information from people. NEVER TRUST SOMEONE WHO CAN
NOT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH yet asking for SSN infor as well as Birthday!
