I was sent this today 7/28/09

It sucks because I received this and responded.. I was actually really excited :-( all for nothing

I saw the e-mail from Mark look <mloolchiol0009[at]gmail.com> on 7/28 & reported it as phishing to gmail. I work for the state & need to find a new job - that was a total morale killer.

Mine was also from Mark look (mloolchiol0009[at]gmail.com)

[[[removed duplicate message]]

Same here. In a down economy do these people actually think I am that deprate?

Received the same kind of proposal this time the name of the scammer is Jeniifer Smith and the email they're using is jennifer_smith00091[at]yahoo.com. Now they're using a bunch of dating websites. The site i came accross with this one was establishmen.com. The name of the scammer in reality is Lorenzo Secody. Lives in West valley, utah zip 84119

The ammount they're asking for is 2287.09

I did. the check looks so real too

Received the same on July 30th, verbatim, from a Ms. Lois Girouard. I did not respond further. Should I worry since I gave my resume already?

I just got this email today. The email had this same basic info. I wasn't sure why I would get 10% per transaction along with a monthly paycheck. I had my mom read through it and she said I should look up the company. I googled it and here I am.

Yup same here...thanks for the post! what a epic fail!...

Ya if you sent a resume and no further bank info you should be fine:)other then general harassment due to giving out your number and address as long as they dont have your bank account info your fine!

RE: MIKE

I'm hoping that was a joke posting. Next time try and form proper sentences. The internet is and can be a great resource to find a job. It just has used with caution and safety in mind. I'm sorry that your grandfather was scammed and that you think that retaliation against people who had no fault is they way to go. You are one of those people that make this world a shitty place to live.

I received TWO responses from companies that claimed to be seeking an administrative assistant or clerical assistant on Craigslist that were both fraudulent! One was from "HL Plastics" and the other from "Green Group Plastics LTD." It looks like a scam immediately, but speaking from experience, some people have been looking for jobs for so long and are so desperate that any interest in a person's resume is enough to make someone want to believe this is real so badly that they don't use common sense. Please be careful!

TJ,am a black guy from nigeria and am a scammer because your grandparent made my people suffer you took my great grand parent like a slave to your country and you stolen all we had till date you guys were the one who made this world a shitty place to live now you blaming us..your country is still stealing our money because they are stealing our Oil so TJ we have just started we would scam the whole USA and the world..every year Nigerians make alot of money from scam and i have gotton two cars also a house from your money and i know i will make more by the grace of God so American watch out because we would make you pay...

COMMENT TO MIKE:
YOU'RE SICK PERSON & YOU NEED A DOCTOR !!
BASED ON YOUR DIRTY STORY YOU CAN AFFORD ONE FROM NIGERIA !!??

Hello guys:

Scam updates please read below. They're from Craigs list.

Got'em today.

Be careful evrybody !!! Do not fall for this GARBAGE !!!
I hope that all of you will find a job some day.
It was never easy to get a job but we have to HOPE....
So, good luck !!

A few words for Nigerian Mike or who the h...ll are you:

You said you got two cars & house on scamming - so I assume that you're an expert in that INDUSTRY !!!????
Save some money for "PSYCHIATRIST" and also for your "FUNERAL EXPENCES" because you're in very DANGEROUS BUSINESS !!!
Also, I suggest you to go to ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to learn ENGLISH GRAMMAR RULES so you could express yourself more CLEARLY SOB !!!!

Thanks. I deleted the mail immediately after I read your post.
I agree with Erika.
You know I send out so many resumes and some don't say the exact location (speak City).
My said your resume for Receptions/Office Adm. or something like it. And then you start thinking "did I apply ?????"
But I googled HL Plastics just like Sean.
Thanks again.
