SCAM/FRAUD
After applying to a job for an Administrative Coordinator II position in Western MD, I received this email in response:
Hello,
I hope you are doing well this afternoon, and I would like to thank you for your application to this job opening.
I am reviewing potential applicants and scheduling interviews for later this week & early next week.
Would you care to tell me a little bit about yourself, your hobbies, educational background, and any previous related experience if applicable?
Lastly, if you had to choose 3 words which best describe yourself, what would they be?
Regards,

I replied and asked her probing questions about the job location which was not specified and the next email I received was:
It is great to hear back from you so quickly, the promptness is greatly appreciated.
Based on your responses and credentials I would like the opportunity to personally interview you later this week or early next week. I am available this upcoming week Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, and Monday to Wednesday of next week from 9am to 4pm, would any of these times work for you?
I would like you to bring a copy of your resume to the interview so that we can have a hardcopy for our files. You should also bring a recent copy of your credit report, if you do not have a report or it is older than 3 months you can request a free report from NationalCreditReport.com which takes less than 3 minutes and has no cost to you.
I look forward to hearing back from you, please confirm your desired interview time and a phone number I can reach you at.
Regards,

This was a RED FLAG to me. She did not answer my question, was vague about her location, and wanted to get my credit report.
I asked her why she wanted a credit report for the interview and the job location again, then decided to do some internet research on bravework staffing and came across links to the scams.
BE CAREFUL

I am so glad I checked this site out. The one difference in the email I received from everyone else is the contact person. My email is from Abby Jordan, otherwise everything is identical. Here is the email...
