I've opted out several times over the last few months, and no matter how many times I do this, JobFox won't respect it. Instead of leaving me alone, they continue to send emails-- no matter how many times unsubscribe. Ironically, they advertise themselves as knowing what it takes to help you land a job. Considering they don't even understand how to *not* alienate potential customers, I find this a little on the hard to believe side. Honestly, it is a little on the annoying side. There should be a place in *** reserved for companies that do this.

I became a JobFox member during my search for a job in the technical field. However as I found them to be not useful, for quite some months now I have been trying to contact them to stop my subscription. I managed to talk to one person who said that they would be contacting me to cancel the account. But noone called back and they continue to debit my account every month for $29 automatically from my checking account.
JobFox's "privacy notice" and "terms of service" notations do give a telephone number to contact them, but several attempts over a 6 month period have resulted in just one contact with this company and silence after that. When I call, I am told by an automated voice that no one is available to take my call and that if I leave a message, someone will call me back as their answering service mailbox "is checked regularly" and my call will be "treated with the utmost urgency" and I will "received a return call within the next business day." 'Silence of the lambs or should I say wolves here !
I have no alternative now other than seek legal help to sue Jobfox.
I am wanting to cancel my Advantage account, as I am effectively receiving NOTHING for my $29 per month charge, but I am unable to cancel this automated draw with JobFox. I am also talking to my bank to blacklist this unscrupulous business entity that is preying on job seekers.
The government should definitely send out a squad to hit these guys hard as they are predators in this current economy.

As a professional jobseeker I am well acquainted with the good and bad in the jobsite universe. Lo and behold, I went to apply for a position from Indeed and was redirected to Jobfox. Some poor employer paid Jobfox to advertise their position; or Jobfox has scraped the jobs as was mentioned in an earlier post. I was forced to create an account to apply for the position.

The profile is remarkably similar to linkedin. (Anyone know of affiliations there?) At any rate I now have a profile and am solicited for their premium services regularly. I also receive listings of "New High-Matching Job Opportunities".

After ten minutes research I found that two of the jobs listed in the email did not exist. In fact I had applied for the positions some six months ago.

Thus, Jobfox is advertising jobs that do not exist tosolicit out-of-work people into spending their money into their fake service.

There are no Help, Site Search, or Support links readily available to unpaid accounts. After a brief dig I ran across the FAQ page (available only when not logged in) with their support email - [email protected] where I am requesting removal of my account and deletion of my information.

*HINT* - if you ever want a job site, or any other site for that matter, to delete your account and data, it is highly recommended that you first log in, change every piece of information you can to false data, and delete everything you can as well.

Change your name, address, zip code, telephone, and any other PII so that if they keep and sell your information later it is unusable.

What is it with job boards, like JobFox? They, and others like CareerBuilder, have a pay-to-play program in place that urge you to cough up a hefty fee, or a monthly recurring fee. They claim that your resume will be pushed to the head of the line, or that their resume-writing service will up your chances of getting that job.

Just how many pay-to-play participants can you support before the fee is just a waist of money? And what happens to those who refuse to pay? Do they fall by the wayside? Are their resume's even seen? I know CareerBuilder does forward your resume and cover letter, due to acknowledgements direct from prospective employers. JobFox, however, serves as the middleman, and you hear nothing from the prospective employer - just a generic e-mail stating that the job opening isn't there any longer.

As for JobFox's resume writing service, they're persistent in pushing their $400 - $700 service, with claims that vast improvement are just around the corner. Professionals, in my neighborhood, have only seen minor changes that were needed.

Job hunters beware.

Each time I try to access Jobfox I am locked out until I request a new password. The staff, when reached by direct phone, says this should not happen and cannot explain why it does. They are quick to take money, but slow to produce results, if any. Do not sign up for anything they offer.
