So I got this too! Sucks I was excited to get a response from somewhere I applied to. I really need a job. I responded to the email, HOWEVER, all the information I provided was sent with my cover letter and resume. I thought it was fishy, especially since the English was poor, they said I'd be paid through WIRE TRANSFER, and something about moving to the states. Plus, I can't find it on Craigslist anymore. Here's what it said:

TOTAL SCAM! I THANK YOU & GOD FOR THIS BLOG!!! I got a request for more information about myself, and yet, all I had asked of them, prior to sending them my resume, was a location for the job posting. They responded to my request for a location by telling me that I was qualified, and offered the job details, etc. But still I looked them up and here you are. Thank you for your highly valuable service to the public. Too bad you don't work for CraigsList, eh? With all the people they must have on the payroll, it's NOBODY's job to watch for the scammers???!!! That's a shame and an outrage.
THANK YOU for you! L, G

Detailed Job Description – Admin / Office Job.

So glad I started to research this. Pisses me off.

Yes I have gotten through since i need a job so bad. They sent me a check, it just did not feel right, so I googled them and here I am reading your post. I called the FBI and they told me to destroy the check, and not to be in contact with them. They keep calling me, and emailing me. Even though they now know the FBI gets everything that they send me.

Thank you so much for posting this! I am bookmarking this website! It's difficult enough to find a job and then you have people doing things like this! Thank you once again!!

I got a couple of scams like this from craigslist. It's hard to see if they are or not so watch out for these scammers!!!

Thanks for posting this. I got the same email at 12:30 in the morning. The position was also for a different job that I saw on Craigslist. Maybe Craigslist should be more selective who they take ads for. So everyone please watch out for theses bottom feeders. Good Luck

Yep! I got their email. Robin's comments are right on.
TY

I received an E-mail not from HL plastics but from Mediaperformeances France from Simone Rejandra and from Acelin Yannik. They wanted me to cash checks and keep 10% of the money and send them the money thru Western Union. I reply back to them and told them that I was not going to cash the checks and I was going to send them back. When I did that they sended me another e-mail intimidating telling me that they were going to call their lawyers if I did not cash the checks for them. I now that it was unfortunately that I sended my info but now I know that it was just scam, and never give out your info to anyone luckily I never gave my bank info. It sad to see people that try to take advantage of others like this. My e-mails were the same as Claudia from July 11th.

Thank God I searched this out because my boyfriend was like that sounds like a scam and bothering me and blah blah blah and im trying to prove him wrong and search it up in google and gt proven wrong it is a scam...
thank god!....

I knew it was too good to sound true. My experience was a bit different though. I got the email about the info and I responded with questions about the company. One thing I noticed was the initial email was grammatically correct, for the most part, and the reply to my reply was written horribly. This was one of the several warning signs along with no phone number, the company email address and the oh so common name. I will be sure to mark that craigslist ad as a scam and send him a email telling him that I'm no fool.I know when things seem really easy, that there has got to be something about it that I don't want apart of.

Hi, I just received an email from them also after submitting resumes on Craigslist also. I knew it was a scam immediately when they want to pay you 2000-2200 for 3-4 hours of work each day and that you would be depositing checks into your own bank account.

Here is a copy of what I received below:
