An article in the October 9, 2009, edition of USA Today by Walecia Konrad cautions job seekers to be aware of the following possible scams:
1. Stimulus come-ons. Any email from a government agency listing job openings based on the federal stimulus plan is bogus. The government is recruiting, but not by this type of emails.
2. Bogus interview invites. Any email inviting you to go to a distant city for an interview encourages you to use a discounted travel agency to purchase tickets probably is a ploy to get your credit card information.
3. Bad guys on good sites. Do not respond to job sites with personal information such as your address and social security number. It is better to ask the potential employer to contact you by telephone or for a face to face interview.
Personal information is sacred and should be carefully guarded. Please comment in this blog with your experience with individuals or organizations trying to obtain your personal information. Thanks Glyn
