An unknown company who contacted me via careerbuilder.com
I recently have been looking for a job. I posted my resume on Career Builder, among other places. Unfortunately, scammers will get your info from legite places like careerbuilder.com to make it seem that they are legite. This one does not even give a company name. But, I find it quite alarming that at the end it says to destroy the e-mail and to not forward it. Big red flag right there. So, to those out there that may have had a similar situation and got one of these, please be careful! Hopefully others will see this and think twice before they give out there info or become rapped up in a scam or something illegal. Well, here is the e-mail I recieved:
