Job Hunters Beware

APP.COM - Web Extra: Online job hunters snared by fraud

I’ve never used CareerBuilder.com, but this article makes me wonder which of the job sites will be next to fall victim to this sort of scam. I receive job postings from nearly half-a-dozen different sites on a daily basis, and while I respond to very few of them, it still makes me wonder what might have already happened to the information I’ve sent out. I’d heard of identity theft from job postings, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the scammers actually paying off someone to reship merchandise purchased with a stolen credit card.
