Job Scam - Job for me

On the last post I mentioned how the company didn't even have a website. This one does, but it is still easily seen through. First you can tell the website is build off a standard Wordpress account. In addition, the company's website is not mentioned anywhere else on the web.

I did some additional investigation just to be sure. The phone which is located in England just gives a fast-busy. Also, I emailed the person requesting 3rd part confirmation of the company and no response was given. This was just another too good to be true jobs. To bad, I really would have enjoyed doing it.

Below is my response first then the email from the "company."


Dear Debra Price,

I am interested in the position. I did some internet research on your company and I only came across your website. I do not see any third party sites mentioning your company. Can you provide a third party that can validate your company? I would happy to provide my resume and cover letter after this request. Thank you for your understanding.


Regards,

  1. I just received the same company request from a supposed to be James Woodley with Stargame LTD with an email address: work.stargame@yahoo.com saying he got my resume from Careerbuilder. I told em to kick rocks or smoke em which ever they do. This is a sad thing. I wish more people could be made aware, because they probably getting people like me. I am living with family (with two kids)trying to get a job and a place to stay...this would have really set me back. Just luckily I always look into these companies, because they almost got me before.

  3. Well, I unfortunately sent my CV back (it has personal information on it but doesn't include a SS number) because I was excited to finally get some sort of job offer; however, I'll make sure not to fall for their scam. Thanks for the information, guys. Is there anything I need to do to protect myself or should I be safe?

  5. I just received the same job offer from James Woodley lol. I'm sure that is not even a real person. Their website looks super shady and unprofessional. This isnt a real company at all. when you google them nothing pops up besides that garbage website. I was almost ready to look into before my girlfriend stopped me. I did research and found like three sites with people complaining that this company is a SCAM. thank God i didnt do it. my credit already isnt good and I cant afford someone to steal my identity.
