I got the following email after applying for jobs all night:

Dear Applicant,
I appreciate you e-mailing us. In case the posting was not clear, the responsibilities of this position are as follows: you will be working alongside our current team of manegerial HR staff, also answering the phone and taking messages whenever applicable, you will be scheduling the company meetings, and running errands for the company for things such as purchasing supplies and making bank deposits (you will be provided with a company car). While you are running errands, you will also be given one of our company credit card(s) for all business purchases.
You seem definitely qualified for our job opening and I would like to take the next step with you. However, before I am able to schedule a formal meeting, my company will require that you acquire a recent (past 14-21 business days) credit report. We started this because our company had some bad incidents with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card.
Both myself and the company will prefer it that you use http://bit.ly/b7x9bT to acquire your check as they are offering the check at zero cost to you (unlike other places). We also discovered that their scores always report back the most factual and accurate information.
Once you submit all of the required information, they will show your personal report. Then, you need to email me the reported credit score, a phone number that you can be easily reached, and your availability schedule to arrange an interview.
I ask you to not email me the entire report, as it will have private content. If you have a lower than expected credit score, it will never prevent you from a position with us. I had a fairly low score whenever I started.
If you do not want to complete a recent credit check, unfortunately the company will require that I contact the second choice.
Personally, I am hoping to fill this position with a new friendly face as soon as possible and am looking forward to your quick response.
Have a fantastic Saturday,
Kind Regards,
Maria Stover - HR
MY RESPONSE EMAIL:
Thank you for clarifying the responsibilities of the open position for me. I did not attach my credit report because I do have a current copy of my report and score already on file for my own records, as I have been monitoring that information on my own lately. Your email stated that you would not like me to send you the full report, is there anything in the report you would like me to send you specifically? My current credit score is 576 as of 8/14/2010. The score is from freecreditreport.com. I would be happy to also go through the website you provided in the previous email. I would be available for an interview anytime next week and my phone # is (414)000-0000. If there is any other information needed, please feel free to contact me via email or phone.
Thanks,
Crystal
Than I went and checked out the website anyway and thought it looked kinda weird or fishy compared to freecreditreport.com. So than I did my research and found this website before leaving and found it was a scam, so thank you to those of you who have already posted info about this site, I just hope its not to late. I immediatley called the number listed below to cancel and the woman I spoke with argued with me until she eventually hung up on me. She was trying to get me to keep the membership for at least 3days -1 week. I told I already have ALL of this through another site, id like to cancel. SO...When she hung up, I called them right back and spoke with another woman, this time I asked for her name and a confirmation #. Im not sure that will do anything but we shall see...At least I got to all of this with in minutes of being on the site...
What jerks though...
I copied and pasted this from the website when I was still logged in:
