Beware of craiglist jobs
I am a college studfent on break for the summer. I was lookng for a part time job to make some extra cash before school starts. I was searching on craiglist and i came across an ad stating they needed a
online sales associate. When i emailed the alleged supervisor, she said all i had to do was fill out inline forms and let her know when i was done, than she claimed i would get paid in the mail. I completed these forms, wich was a bunch of garbage online schools and other junk ads. She corresponded with me up until i completed all them ads; after that i never heard from her and never recieved a check. This is her email julie. [email protected]. Also alot of those other jobs posted on craiglist THEY ARE FAKE. These people get your personal email to use your names, spam your email / home address with jink and repeatdly unsolictdly call your phone. The biggest scam on there is a repeated want ad for " cleaning in his home" he says hes from africa claiming he needs a cleaner for his home and he cannot talk on the phone but will pay through paypal (sounds fishy). Its a real shame because these frauds make it tough in this already bad economy of people looking for work. Watch looking for a job on craiglist and dont give your information, unless you truly know this job has a legit business you can visit. I am pretty upset to know people are on craiglist making up fake job ads, when so many people really need work. Its dissapointing to know majority of these job ads are not real, espcially for a student like me who really need work. Watch them and be careful, if they ask for social security numbers, and whole names through the email it is a scam.
