Here is a great example of a job I applied for and how it turned out to be a freaking scam....Luckily, by the time I got to the bottom of the email, I knew it wasn't right...they wanted a copy of my credit report & wanted me to send it....I don't think so...
Take a look at this one; thank god I didn't follow this "we need your credit score" request that I "supposedly" overlooked...because it wasn't in the intial job posting!
Thank you for your prompt reply, as the hiring manager I am glad to see you are
serious.
Your email is definitely appreciated. From your response we have gathered that
you are qualified
for the current position, and in my opinion more so than any of the other 14
applicants who have
submitted their information for review.
To remind you, the job is basic but requires: some oral and written
communication skills and the
ability to perform general administrative tasks including answering the phone
and message taking,
the preparation of mailings, the order and maintenance of supply quantities,
copy work, emailing,
filing, and typing. I will give you more specific details during the interview.
Hours: 9AM to 5PM (Can be flexed a bit if required)
General Pay: you can earn up to $17.00 per hour after your initial paid training
(we will decide
final salary after interview based on experience)
Benefits Package: Dental and medical, eyecare, life/disability insurance,
tuition reimbursement
after 6 months, vacation/sick time and 401k.
While you are running errands, you will also be given one of our company credit
card(s) for all business purchases.
My company will require that you acquire a recent (past 14-21 business days)
credit report.
We started this because our company had some bad incidents with prior employees
taking advantage of having
access to a company credit card.
We are prepared to set up an interview time for you but you have not submitted
one of the items
necessary to satisfy the pre-interview requirements. We show you have not
completed your credit report
which all candidates must submit before scheduling an interview. We are trying
to
complete the schedule for these interviews immediately so please finish the
report now so your
record is complete.

There is no cost for the trial and we have found they do have the most accurate
score.
I ask you to not email me the entire report. We do ask that you reply with your
current score
then please print the report or use the save to email option and bring the
report with you
to the interview.If you do not return the required information as soon as
possible it may result
in you being passed upfor the job.
Reply with the results and an availability time to set up an interview. My
availability would
be from 7 to 10 in the morning or 2 to 5 PM.
We are looking to fill this position immediately so do not hesitate.
Have a great Thursday
