Comments from other victims:February 28, 2007, from Emily:I have a resume posted on Careerbuilder.com. I am currently employed but wanted to see if the grass was greener any where else. In the last two weeks I have received emails from toospoiled and now today from Administrative Solutions. When I first received the email from Toospoiled I was excited. Being a recent graduate with a degree in theatre it seemed right up my alley. I mentioned the email to my husband and he encouraged me to go for it. So I filled out the form on the website. After I had entered my information my husband mentioned that I should try google-ing the company to make sure they're reputable. A little late but better than never I did a little research and of course found it to be reported as a scam all over the net. A few days later I received another email from Toospoiled giving me log in information and asking me for more information. I just deleted it. Then in another day or two I got the same email again and I replied stating that I had done some research and found compelling arguments that Toospoiled was a scam and asked to be promptly removed from their database. I haven't heard back from them. Just today I have received a new email from Administrative Solutions that is formatted in exactly the same way as the Toospoiled email and their website are remarkably similar. Oh and one other tidbit. I marked that I was not interested in education at this time, being that I just received my BA this past May, but I received and interesting phone call yesterday. When I answered the man mentioned that I had recently inquired about furthering my education online. I told him that I had not and asked where he got my information to which he had no reply other than that I had requested information online. I proceeded to explain to him that I had not made any such request as I had just graduated less than a year ago. He quickly ended the call. The number that showed up on my caller ID was 949-706-2266. Note from CFR:The phone number, 949-706-2266, is an unlisted number in Newport Beach, CA. This suggests that the scammers behind TooSpoiled.com are based in Newport Beach, or have an operation there.

February 2007, from Anita:I have received two e-mails from AdminSolutionsGroup.net and one today from eBandSearch.com and one last week from www.TooSpoiled.com. These emails did not start, until I posted my resume on Hotjobs.com. Now, I did receive legitimate offers from two companies, but the remaining offers are from the companied listed in this email which I think is a scam of some sort. I also noticed at the AdminsolutionsGroup site, there were a lot of pop-ups and they ask you about furthering your education. I am already in school, so I didn't check any of those boxes. It is a shame you can't feel free to post your resume online for the purpose of employment or to seek a better career. February 2007, from Susanne:I sent my resume to both ebandsearch and adminsolutions. I wish that I had done more research before so. After sending my resume to adminsolutions I received another job offer from them for a completely different position. I can't say for sure, but I am 99% sure these are both scams. I also received an offer from marcmichelsen@world-cash-utils.com , maybe you can give me some insight to this one as well. Thanks, Susanne February 2007, from Scott:Dear CFR - I have my resume posted on the major job boards - Monster, HotJobs, career Builder and just received an e-mail from Joyce Tomlinson@ebandsearch.com It looked suspicious when I read through the e-mail and your website confirmed my suspicions. Like other job seekers with resumes posted, my address, phone, and e-mail are "out there", but no personal info such as ss# or date of birth. I appreciate your diligence and info. If you need further info, please let me know. Thanks, Scott March 2007,from Heather:Hello I have received several emails from the following Good Grades Now and Worldcareersite.com. A recruiter from this supposed Worldcareersite.com called me and asked me a series of questions even requesting my mailing address. I felt a bit suspicious because I have never had a recruiter contact me this way. They sent a link to my email address and one I clicked on it there were a series of unrelated questions about school loans which alarmed me. If anyone receives a phone call or email from them please be advised. I have learned that reputable companies do not contact you this way and when in doubt Google the company and do some investigating before disclosing ANY information.
