craigslist: A New Kind of Scam

[WildCardSteve1]

"Indeed" sucks. No luck at all with them.


Had good luck in the past with CL but not lately. Many interviews, many bitter disappointments.


What do they want? Blood? Guess so.


It is a buyers market out there, and we job seekers are just so much raw meat to them.

I got sent on one interview through one of these outfits. The J-O did not even ask me to sit down. The lady said she'd have something else for me but never e mailed back. Another J-O.


Agencies are like that.


J-O = something polite people do in the bathroom.

Don't do online jobs either that include being a personal assistant because they will send you driving around town doing errands for a scam.

I almost got caught up in something like this. The person was really tight lipped about their company and seemed too hasty to give me a job and I found that very suspicious.

They love their scams. Rotten, vile swine.
