OT - Beware job search scams
« on: March 10, 2009, 08:41:24 PM »
With the job marketing being what it is there are people out there looking to take advantage of job seekers.

I am not in the job market right now but I get updates from several job sites since I never deactivated my profile 4 years ago.  Today I received an email through monster.com and it was suspect so I did a little checking and it turns out to be a scam.  I'm sure there are others but this is the first I've come accross.  Beware guys.
