At a time when people are losing their jobs and there is so much uncertainty with the price of gas, no security in jobs and Florida being one of the worst places to live with the unemployment rate around 10%, who has time for this type of BS! I have been emailed and have responded with the same information over and over again and never having a returned email or phone call to follow up on the previous job application. THIS IS A SCAM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! I can not afford to get my hopes up to have them dismantled due to a scam or scheme -- this is someone's life these people are playing with!

I have received at least 5 emails from this career network saying that an employer on their site liked my resume. It then asked me to click on a link and then go to the website and complete information for the job. I had to insert personal contact information and at least 3 references (combination of personal and professional).

The last time I submitted my information for one of the jobs (which was in the teaching field, in which I have a degree), I received another e-mail saying they were trying to contact me for an interview and I needed to click on the link again and complete the information again so I can be contacted for an interview. This was yesterday and I did not complete the information again and sent a reply e-mail telling them that I had done it already.

This is my complaint concerning careernetwork. They actually called me about 2 weeks ago to confirm my personal information and said that if the employer was interested in moving to the next step, they would give me a call. I haven't heard anything from an employer and I don't know if this is related, but now I have been receiving anonomous calls about receiving free grant money and magazine subscriptions, since I received that call.

Respectfully,

Tabitha White

A job for a Teaching Assistant was posted with a starting salary of $32, 000 (a bit less than double what I am making now). Not surprisingly, the school was listed as private and "confidential" and the incentives (beyond salary) were enticing. With only a high school education, the applicants were told they would be able to make lesson plans and teach! There were MANY red flags but the most blatant were the follow-up questions concerning continuing education. Bottom line: this position never existed and was manufactured for the express purpose of phishing for desperate people who wanted to teach but had no education or credentials.

Get ahold of their ISP and have it shut down. The ISP is probably not the one doing this - but a user off of it IS!

%ok

So, I get an e-mail from a supposed "C. Garner" saying this:
Dear Aaron,

We are looking for a Telecommunications Technician Assistant. This person will be assisting in the day-to-day customer service needs. We offer $16.60 per hour plus great benefits, which we will discuss during your interview.


Aaron, to avoid being flooded with applications and responses, I have only extended this opportunity to a few people. Your online resume caught my attention, and I would like to start the interview process as soon as I possibly can. I am looking forward to hearing from you today, if at all possible. By selecting the hyperlink below, you can view more information about the position, benefits offered, our company, and send in your application as an interested candidate.


I am interested in applying for the Telecommunications Technician Assistant position.


I hope to receive your application later today!


Best Wishes,


C. Garner

I am currently jobless and seeking employment, I had resumes in this field out and about, so thinking that this was legit I click on the link, fill out my info and attach my resume. I also noticed that at the bottom of the page there were option for information on continuing your education, which I didn't opt for. Once I clicked "continue" the next page gave me an error message saying something like "this page is unavailable due to construction, please try again in an hour." I thought that this was odd since Mr. C. Garner was so anxious to get my application A.S.A.P. So, I Google search "Career Network" only to find several scam notifications, which was awesome. As you may already know they have several complaints against them as well as some kind of legal action. I can only hope that after complaining to you and the FTC that nothing bad comes from this experience.
