We're currently investigating these.
A visitor first reported it to us in early March
2007. This email and website looks very similar to other jobs scams, like eBandSearch.com, TooSpoiled.com and AdminSolutionsGroup.com
The
Better Business Bureau says this about the company behind them:
Based on BBB files, this
company has an
unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s).
The Bureau has received multiple inquiries from the public and is contacting
the firm about complaint correspondence as well. Consumers report being
asked for personal information, including Social Security numbers, in order
to set up an employment link with the firm. Further contact was not
provided, however, and consumers report concerns that their information may
be sold and mis-used.
CFR RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE
THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION UNTIL WE CAN CONFIRM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM!
Their goal appears to be to get
referral fees by getting you to sign up for online colleges. DO NOT click on the
links to "Click here to be removed from any future employment offers" .
Do you have a resume posted online? We'd like to hear from you about your
