Default Career Services 100

I receive job offers from this web site that fit my background. They claim to represent companies in my town. After submitting my resume, etc. I am instructed to contact their home page in three days. However, there is no home page, and am not directed to their company using CareerServices100.com. Has anyone else had experience with this web site? I am beginning to think it is a phishing scam.

Default trust your gut

I found this forum after receiving the latest scam message from someone identifying themselves as metroplacingservices.com. They have a home page but no real contact info or any other verifiable physical existence. I found them listed in the forum here during my research before responding to the email. I'm sorry you already submitted your resume. ID theft is rampant these days. If you get a message from these metro folks or Career Network (CN) as their homepage identified them, try to report them to your mail service and anybody else who can help track them down. And trust your instincts when it comes to wonderful offers from unknown entities. Know who you're dealing with.

Stop thinking and be sure that was another scam headhunter.

You are not safe anywhere if you are not careful.
The golden rule is to cheeck everything again and aagain before your action or ask for help.
Resumes are used from scams even to create fake profiles to scam other people. Make your resume private in careerbuilder and after a period you will stop receiving scam mails. Neven answer to anyone unknown before check him or post an investigation request in this forum and be sure you will get help soon.

Yes, I just received an email from them today. Offering me employment with Lockheed Martin in Atlanta. I had no idea it could be a scam. Then I went to the lockheed martin website regarding employment, and the first thing that pops up is them warning you about this situation and they say do not respond. But I did because I didn't know anything about this scam. Now I am sorry I did.

Don't blame yourself but consider this as a lesson for the future. Always check and check again. If you need assistance just post an investigation request and be sure you will get help soon.
