Received suspicious email claiming to require a credit check prior to being contacted for a job. YEAH, RIGHT!!! I have applied for a couple of jobs through Craigslist in the past week or two (probably came from there).
Email follows (source below that):
Thanks for your interest in our office position. Just to restate the job duties for clarity, you will be answering the phone, scheduling meetings, and running company errands in a company car. When running errands you will be provided with a company credit card to make supply purchases, etc.
We have had some bad experiences with a prior employee, so before we can schedule an interview, we need you to get a credit check. We prefer you use http://www.nationalcreditchecker.com to obtain this information. When you submit your information they will send you your credit score. When you email me your credit score, we can schedule an interview. Please do not email me your credit report, as this may have private information in it. Just send me your credit score. If you have a low credit score, that will not prevent you from having an interview with us, as we just need to make sure you are dependable.
Please send me your schedule with availability. I am looking forward to your response, thanks.
