Actually receiving a legitimate response after submitting a resume to any company seems like a pipe dream these days. I have been seeking employment in the High Point, NC area and all I am receiving in return for my resume submission is fake emails asking for my credit/personal information. The following is what I received from "Radiant Marketing Solutions":

This classified post on craigslist for an Adminstrative Secretary is false. They send you an email stating that "you and three others have been selected to interview" but they need a copy of your credit report. You are then directed to a website to buy your credit report.
Any reputable company would pull your credit report for themselves if deemed necessary.

This is a scam in the admin/clerical jobs section of www.neworleans.craigslist.com. I sent little info about myself, no resume, and asked for a phone number to reach this company back at. It was advertising a position as an assistant to a real estate management company on Decatur St. This is the email I got back (notice the bad English, particularly the first sentence-----also notice that the point of the scam is identity theft...they want you to fill out enough info for them to get your credit score---bravo to the guy who posted a warning on craigslist about all the fraudulent administrative assistant positions):
