Job and Recruiting Emails: AdminSolutionsGroup.Net, EbandSearch.com and others
Have you received an recruiting email like the ones below, claiming to be from
We have yet to hear from A SINGLE PERSON who has received a job through
them. If you have received a job through AdminSolutionsGroup.net or the
others above, or have anything positive to say about them -
PLEASE WRITE US! So far, all we have
seen is very suspicious, at best.
We noticed a pattern when our own
staff started receiving them (mid-January
2007). We created a dummy resume with a fake contact address, phone and email
that we set up to receive the response. After we filled out their online
form, the screen went to a blank page, no confirmation, no statement of what is
next, etc. These REALLY look suspicious. Even more suspicious, there is NO
contact information on their website at all; no address, no phone numbers, not
even an email address or feedback form. There is only a form to enter your
information and a cryptic login (with no way to register for it).
CFR RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE
THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION UNTIL WE CAN CONFIRM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM!
BASED ON THE QUESTIONS THEY ASKED, IT LOOKS LIKE TRYING TO SELL LOAN SERVICES!
Another possible goal appears to be
referral fees by getting you to sign up for online colleges. We can't tell WHAT
they are up to, but, as stated above, we can not find anyone who has received a
job through them, nor any means to contact them, to hear their side of the
story. If they ARE legitimate, then they certainly act in very suspicious ways!
If they contact you back with a login, as they did us, you will be
presented ads for online colleges -
see this screenshot we obtained by logging
in. Also see this page
for our technical investigation of these emails.
Finally, see this page for
emails and this scam from victims and near-victims.
Do you have a resume posted online? We'd like to hear from you about your
experiences recruiting emails that turned out to be scams or misleading -
click here to write us.. We suspect
these are possibly a new wave of identity theft attacks.
Note: There ARE legitimate recruiting and employment firms on the
internet, and some with very similar names to those above. We recommend
you check any company out before you give any personal information to them.
If they do not have a posted address and phone number, or don't answer the
phone, don't give them any personal information! The legal recruiters will be
happy to give you contact information, return calls and act in the open!
What to do, if you DID fill out their form:
Report it to the following government agencies:
