On 7/17/09 I was contaced via email about a job offer from my resume. The company name was Global Business Solutions with an HR Manager named Helga Peters. It seemed normal at first, but I grew suspicious. This "Peters" person interviewed me initially through an ICQ chat. (first clue) The questions seemed normal. There was no finanical or SS# given out or asked. I conclued my interview with an appointment time for the next day. The next day I got more suspcious. The Peters person sent me to an Anna Kohler (asst HR), but they started asking the same questions over again. When I asked for a phone call she wanted me to talk to Peters again. When I mentioned scam, they stopped talking. I had computer/internet friend check on the validity of the company website for curiousity. It was just created on 7/17/09 and definitley a scam. I just wanted people to be aware, since so many are looking for jobs. This was a good scam and I was fooled for about 24 hours.
