I recently applied for a position as a Property Manager for an Apartment Complex that I saw on Craigslist. This is the email that they responded back with:

"Thank you for your interest and your recent resume submission. My name is Dana and
I am the Human Resource Manager that is in charge of the hiring process for our company
ELV Property Management. I've look over your application and due to the high amount of
replies that we've gotten regarding our recent classifieds posting, I wanted to contact
you as soon as possible and see if you would be interested in setting up an interview with us.

Before I continue let me tell you some background information about ELV Property Management:
We are an established Rental Company that was founded back in 1984 and we've grown immensely
since then. Unlike other rental companies, we hope to foster a fun yet efficient environment
for our employees since we have the firm belief that if we provide our employees with a
welcoming work atmosphere we will see an increased return in productivity. Candidates should
consider themselves self-starters and be able to work efficiently with minimum supervision. Other
skills like great interaction with employees of all levels of the firm, strong communication
skills, organization skills etc. are also valued very highly.

Our company aims to build a strong bond with its employees and therefore we offer benefits
packages for you and your family plus we thrive to pay our employees a higher hourly wage than
any of our competitors. We will be discussing compensation and benefits a little bit more in
detail during our interview when we are in a more private environment instead of public emails.

Now due to our policies I will not be able to schedule an interview with you until you have
filled out one of our online applications which can be found on our company website.
Please visit http://elvmanagement.com/application/ and fill out our short application so we can move on
with the interview process. Each applicant is required to have a personal application code
in order to fill the application.

Since we have received such a high number of replies to our job posting I will only be able to
hold your application on my desk for 1-2 days more so please do not wait too long to fill out
our online application! I will contact you as soon as I receive your online application!

Now if you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
Hoping to see you here for an interview soon,

Dana
Human Resource Manager
ELV Property Management"

My first red flag was her email which is "[email protected]"

Then I googled the website and email and found nothing. However, the copyright year for the website is 2010.

If you reply to the "employment application" it sends you to a link that requires your name, phone number, and email.

After you enter that info, it asks if you would like to verify that you're a real person by sending your phone a voice or text message. The message that called me was an automated number from Craigslist saying "This is your verification code for your recently opened Craigslist account. If you did not open a Craigslist account, dismiss this message."

Bottom line: This scam is trying to open Craigslist accounts with your email address and phone number. Most likely because they're an ad/affiliate spammer. Or possible identity theft.
